The ingame thing just doesn't work. As for getting the steam window up again. Don't close it. Just minimize it and when you need it later maximzie it.

Probably the only way to solve this problem (currently), is to simply play in windowed mode and keep your chat over the side, and you can easily click back and forth in-and-out. Sure, it's not as convenient as hotkeying but it's still fairly easy.

Okay thats no problem, thanks for the help guys.
