Revision history [back]

You need to have the terminal window running teleop_twist_keyboard in focus. Otherwise it cannot capture the keyboard events. Thus, you cannot minimize that. You can make it very small, have it show always on top (right click the toolbar where there is not menu and choose "always on top") or use something else to drive, e.g. a joystick or the TeleopPanel from the rviz_plugin_tutorials pkg.
