    how would i disable alt+tab, and make F12 perform what alt+tab is supposed to do?

    im asking because when i game i have mic set to alt, and show score set to tab, and i like to press both buttons alot and i always end up dieing :(

    well i could probably remap my keyboard again... but i would prefer just to change functionality instead of swapping alt and F12.

    and just so you guys know, it doesnt have to be F12 (but, i doubt what key it is matters, any key should work)
