Update from https://itch.io/post/5047104
I managed to resolve the issue where the game hangs on switching tab. (I edited the wine configuraton to emulate virtual desktop. So now game opens inside a wine window instead of directly using the application,)
Regarding the skipping dialogue, Ctrl does works. If I replay through the Examine and Talk at different places in the same game play the second time, it skips perfectly.
BUT, if I restart (close and open) the game and have to play through those parts it doesn't seems to be working.
I don't think its linux only issues, as it should be saved in local file somewhere in the machine (in the same place where save files gets saved.) and should had been rerendered on starting the game, right? (Something similar to persistent file concept in renpy based games)
