Shortcut to maximize to full screen?

Is there a way in which we could open programs using the full screen without having to find the "little green toggle?    It's wonderful to have a shortcut to "minimize", but unfortunately the reverse seems to be impossible to get.

I use El Capitan 10.11.1 on a MacBook Air - end of 2010 and have recently switched from Windows and I am struggling to adapt.  I can't find software third in the App Store that seems to be good.  Is it possible to assign a "shortcut"?

Control F goes into full screen mode (at least with many programs).

  • Script / keyboard shortcut to switch to full-screen Fusion

    Just upgraded to Yosemite and Fusion 7 of Mavericks and Fusion 6. I have a script (which I think some time ago, I've seen here) that before would switch me to a full screen of merger: -.

    Tell application "VMware Fusion"

    activate

    c the value "Windows 8 x 32 (was VLS XP Home Edition product key)"

    the thiswinID value (identifier of the article 1 of the (get all windows whose name contains c))

    the window id thiswinID index value 1

    tell the end

    I now get an error message "error" VMware Fusion has been an error: can not get all windows whose name contains \"Windows 8 x 32 (was the key to product XP Home Edition VLS)------". "" "number-1728"»

    "Windows 8 x 32 (was XP Home Edition VLS product key): is the name of the Virtual Machine.

    I wasn't able to track down this error code again, but does anyone have an idea why the script no longer works?

    Thanks for any thoughts

    Unfortunately, it seems that VMware has decided to no longer support AppleScript that VMware Fusion 7 is not bundled with an AppleScript dictionary.  Take a look at the following discussion: VMware removed support for AppleScript in Fusion 7?

  • Keyboard shortcut to exit the full screen? (no, not alt-ctrl)

    I'm using VMWare workstation on a laptop. The host is Windows 7 x 64, the guest is Ubuntu 10.10.

    The laptop, when I'm at work, hangs in a display of 1200 x 1600 portrait as second screen and 1280 x 800 display integrated as the main screen. In general, I'll put the instance of Ubuntu on the second screen and click full screen in the toolbar.

    When I SLEEP the laptop and disconnect the screen and then later to wake the portable computer, the prompt returns with a wide black border around it. This means that the display he uses is largely out of the limits of the office - but much of the top left of the screen is still visible.

    I think that, if I could leave the guest full screen (say, back to the window mode) and enter again full-screen, it would actually take charge main screen and resize to 1280 x 800. However, I can't figure out how actually the VMWare instance exit believe that it is in full screen mode. Normally, I get a drop-down menu to control this (minimize and UN-fullscreen window control widgets) when I move the cursor to the top of the screen, but this menu does not appear at the top of the screen as indicated in the comments (which then has a wide black border), or top of the physical screen.

    Is there a command line tool Linux, or a combination of secret keys or something to use on the host computer, what can come out of the instance of VMWare what she believes is in full screen mode? Some WM_WHATEVER message I can send to it? Another option?

    Hello

    Don't know if you have tried this: CTRL + ALT + ENTER - this should you return to windowed mode.

  • Screen do not maximize mode full-screen when the taskbar is set to hide

    original title: Gap Auto-Hide

    I put my tool bar to auto hide. Normally, a zoomed window will extend to the bottom of the screen when the task bar is hidden. However, whenever I restart Windows, any window that is maximized will only go down insofar as space of the taskbar visible again, even when it is hidden. Turning auto-hide and the new set, but only until that next time that I reboot. Is there a way to fix it permanently? I use XP Pro.

    The problem I have is happening with any program that I open, not only IE and windows, then I would say it's more a problem of Windows.

    I don't think that was said in the original post.

  • toggle mode full screen does not not in 2015 CC

    Clicking on the quick key "toggle fullscreen"-normally the tilde key - will only make the Source and program panels full-screen.  In the update of 2015, it seems that he is no longer working for the sequence group.

    Is it just my system?

    Mitch from Adobe e-mail me and we understood the question.

    There are three somewhat similar based on the tilde shortcuts:

    Toggle mode full screen (Ctl + ~)

    This activates / deactivates the full panel screen (window) active Clip or the full screen of the Source Panel

    Maximize or restore the active Frame (shift + ~)

    This maximizes the active groups of Source Clip or timeline

    Maximize or restore frame under the cursor (not assigned)

    This maximizes the panels Clip, Source or timeline are you cursored on

  • fullscreen is not full screen, unless I use "expand" and later goes back

    I used to be able rely on full screen and it would be nice, and when I closed ff, after reboot it will re-start in fullscreen. Something a gliched. When I press on full screen in regular format, mode full screen is not complete, only about 90-95% of the screen. I can make it go full screen if I click
    "expand" and then full screen, but if, at any time, the screen is not expanded, the same thing happens. If I close enlarged and full screen
    It opens with the reduction in full screen. I can't move or stretch out in anything except the normal screen, and even once, I click on full screen. I never had this problem.

    Believe it or not, after a week of uninstalling, reinstalling, verification of configurations, I simply décliqués menu toolbar, and now it works perfectly regular, maximize and full screen. Go figure. Thanks to your efforts, people.

  • game will not be resolved in full screen.

    am running windows Vista and had an old version of scrabble.   All of a sudden it will not maximize the full screen.   You press on maximizing and there still about 1.5 inches on all sides.   I played with all the properties, screen resolutions, but I can't get it to work.   I bought a new Scrabble updated and it's doing the same thing. All other games seem to be good.    It is much too small for my mother who plays to see.

  • Reading bug full screen

    Hello

    I've been a problem lately, when I want something full screen but after that I did so once it is no longer reading. I use the shortcut 'ctrl' to play full screen.

All this without mode full frame.

    It is a known problem with 10.11 and reported to the relevant team, and there is no work around at the moment. So, if you have an old OS back up return to him, and it can be fixed with the next release of Premiere Pro.

  • I need to remove "minimize, maximize, close" buttons on the mode full screen

    I can remove all the buttons (like refresh, back, forward, address bar, etc.), but the small right 3 "minimize, maximize, close" buttons I can't delete, how can I do it with userChrome.css or another option.
    Because I can close firefox out of the full screen and clicking on the menu of archive with the ' Alt ' key.
    I don't want this small 3 buttons, I can hide and show permanent.

    I hope to explain correctly
    Thank you very much

    Add code to userChrome.css below default @namespace.
