Enable Advanced Menu with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-D
Use Advanced Menu -> Debug Settings -> Play Typing Anim -> FALSE to stop people from adding typing sounds to your captures
Linux users can use xmodmap -e "keycode 67 = F1 F1" to stop Linux from switching to text console when pressing CTRL-ALT-F1.
- xmodmap -e "keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1" to restore normal Linux behavior
Parcel Owners can build huge video walls to use as easily selectable backdrops without requiring you to pay to upload tons of textures.
