Exposition:
I am writing an GLFW app on MacOSX. The app is a Mac bundle.
I want my app to run in fullscreen mode (easy, use GLFW_FULLSCREEN). Problem is .. my code is still buggy, and I do not know how to kill a full-screened app that infinite loops (i.e. if the exit(0); is not called in the program; I don't know how to force kill it).
Question is: how can I set up a MacOSX Glfw Bundle so taht I can force-kill it when it infinite loops?
Thanks!
Set up expose so it triggers on a screen corner, and leave Activity Monitor running in the background. When you want to kill the app, expose across to Activity Monitor and kill it from there.
Not at my Mac right now, but from memory either Command+Option+Escape or Command+Option+Shift+Escape will kill a fullscreen app like a game that isn't responing.
If that doesn't work, try enabling spaces. Many apps that capture all keystrokes won't/can't take over the Control+Arrow Key shortcut to change to another space.
Final option: setup a spare computer; an old PowerBook or Compact Mac or something like that is ideal, and SSH into the dev machine and kill the offending process(es).
