Yes, Silverlight v2.0 RTM will have limited support for keyboard input in full-screen mode. It's limited deliberately, because of security concerns, otherwise it would be possible to create an full-screen application which would imitate, e.g. OS GUI and
would try to steal user passwords / sensitive data.
Only the following keys will be allowed in full-screen mode: Arrow keys, Space, Tab, Ins / Del, Home / End, Page Up / Page Down.

Similar to isolated storage, wouldn't be an option to ask user to allow the keyboard support in fullscreen ?
It's a pitty that keyboard support is limited without an option in full-screen because it practically cuts-down functionality of the application when full-screen would actually make the application functionality to grow (take a management application where
full-screen is very useful instead of being limited by the size of the Silverlight control in the web page).

sharmart231, it's not about how to enable fullscreen. Please read my previous post.
