Help! Everything disappeared. :-(
I know everything is still here somewhere, but I pushed a button and now everything looks like this (see image). There are no side panels or anything and none of the menus on top bring anything back. Why isn't there something in the view menu where I can control this? How do I get it back?
-
Pressing the Tab key will bring back both left and right side panels. There are also commands at the bottom of the Window menu to hide or show them.

When you're learning a new program, it's a good idea to keep the user guide open at the same time for reference.

Thank you for your answer! Yeah, those menu items weren't working. I know how to use the program, tho. What had happened was that I pressed *something* that made a new window open up in front of the old window, taking up the entire space, and I didn't notice that there were two windows open. So the "show browser panel" and "show photo panel" were checked, but they were showing the browser panel and the photo panel on the rear window, which I didn't know was there, seeing as I hadn't consciously enabled a new window to open in front. Now I see that I must have accidentally pushed the show/ hide dual mode button which I never use. There is nothing in the menu items that changes that indicates that one is in dual mode, such as indicating a second open window, should a person accidentally press the button. So far as I can see.

It sounds like you got into Dual Mode by pressing Command/Control-F11.
When that happens on a single monitor system the 2nd window overlays the first. You can use the Mac OS hotkey Command-` to switch between the open windows in any program. Pressing Command-F11 again will get you out of Dual Mode.

There should have been a check mark next to the Show menu item to indicate that mode is active.
Glad you were able to find it.

I could have pressed command-f11, but likely I pressed the button on the screen. The problem is that I'd never heard of dual mode, and the second screen was completely 100% obscuring the first screen. I'm sure the check mark was there and that I managed to toggle just about every other menu item. Oops. I found the issue when I re-sized the screen. But I thank you very much for being here to answer stupid questions that come up when someone pushes a random button for the first time in three years of use. It does make me want a second screen. :-)

Actually, just tested this I find if I hit F11 to go into full screen, the top menu stops working completely and F11 doesn't end full screen view. I end up fighting with it to get full screen canceled and only then do the menus start working again.

Have you tried Delete Settings? 😁 Just kidding. It works properly on my Mac.

For me, hitting F11 makes any and all windows zoom off to the side so that I can see the crap on desktop, no matter what program I'm using. I seldom use it for that purpose, but I have the system set that way.

Pressing F11 by itself invokes a Mac OS command that moves those windows out of the way to reveal the Desktop.
We are talking about Command-F11 which is a Photo RAW hotkey to invoke Dual Mode.

Pressing F-11 by itself controls the sound for me. Fn F-11 makes the screens zoop out of the way. Command F-11 does absolutely nothing in ON1 aside from continue to adjust the sound. The hotkey doesn't work for me.

That is how it works on my system too except for Command-F11 which works as it is supposed to. That is a default hotkey for the program. Command-Shift-F11 goes to Full Screen Mode where even the Menu Bar is hidden and only the Photo RAW window is visible.
You can check Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts… in Photo RAW and scroll down to the Window menu commands and see what the program is expecting there.

On Mac you need to add FN key to all the commands in order to active Fn. So Fn-cmd-F11 to toggle in and out of full screen.
0 -
That depends upon how you have your system set up. I do not use the Fn key in Photo RAW. There is a switch in System Settings > Keyboard >Function Keys that allows you to set whether or not the Fn key is needed. I have mine set so they work as standard function keys and I only press the Fn key when I want to adjust the Volume, etc.

Command-F11 doesn't do anything for me; Fn-Command-F11 brings me in & out of dual mode. That's definitely not something I could hit by mistake. LOL.
I never memorized all my favorite keyboard shortcuts. I did for Lightroom, & then when I switched to ON1 there were some differences & omissions (I'm looking at you, "export") & instead of memorizing them, I just continued to be annoyed. Which is pointless. Good time to learn the rest...

I don't know why your F keys would be different. For me, full screen is just F11

My full screen shortcut is shift command F
Same as Brian's. Funny, eh?

This looks like a Mac vs Windows difference. If you look at the short list of keyboard shortcuts at the end of the user guide then in the Windows column it has n/a. So I wonder if Rick's F11 is Windows standard. Mac standard, in recent releases, is fn+F. Perhaps On1 is able to override the standard in Mac so that full set of keyboard shortcuts can be changed.
As Brian has pointed out, and which I didn't know before, MacOs offers a way to switch around the default action for the top row of keys on Mac keyboard so that default keypress can either be operational keys like volume control or function keys.
So have operating system differences, operating system preferences and On1 keyboard shortcut editing to take into account!
Jessica - the full screen keyboard short cut is control command F, full screen preview is shift-F, note the difference between the first characters ^ is control and up-arrow symbol (which I am not sure how to type!) is shift. Mac conventions not On1.

It is a Mac vs Windows thing. It is also a Mac customization thing.
By default the Mac OS requires pressing the Fn key to get a function key to behave like a function key. Otherwise, it acts according the the System Preferences/Settings > Keyboard settings.
I had a bad habit of not remembering to press the Fn key and was constantly adjusting the brightness of my old laptop screen which of course immediately ruined my calibration and profiling settings and I would have to redo that to recover so I turned on the option I showed above. Now on my system the function keys are function keys and I have to press the Fn key to adjust volume, display the Desktop, and all the other OS level functions those keys provide.
Jessica - Shift-F puts Photo RAW's window in the operating system's Full Screen mode as I described above. It enlarges whatever window you are working in to cover the entire screen including the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. It will pull down when you mouse up to it so they menu commands are still available. This is available for all programs although the hotkeys are a bit different.
Also, the hotkeys in Photo RAW are customizable. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts… to open the dialog. You can assign hotkeys to commands which do not have them (I use Control-G/R/Shift-R to switch between the different Mask View modes), or you can reassign something the program has already defined. See page 12 in the User Guide for complete instructions.
