[mythtv-users] Full screen/Windowed Switching

On mplayer you can just hit f to go full screen and then f again to go
back to a windowed version.  Does anyone know if myth can do something
similar?

I just got an LCD TV and I can see it being useful to put the tv in a
window sometimes since it is, more or less, a computer monitor after
all, and the picture isn't going to fill the entire screen anyway, at
least unless you have 16:9 content.

I know you can change to windowed mode, but that requires going into a
menu and changing settings.  I suppose I could do something like a
stop/restart with a script, but that is not quite ideal..

Of course next up is to get a dvi->hdmi cable.  I wonder if there is
anything to be aware of there.
