What is the keyboard shortcut for toggling full-screen and windowed mode in Adobe After Effect (Creative Cloud)?
Use Ctrl+\ for Windows or ⌘+\ for macOS.
Answer taken from Adobe's (somewhat cryptic) documentation on windowing shortcuts:
Result
Windows
macOS
Resize application window or floating window to fit screen. (Press again to resize window so that contents fill the screen.)
Ctrl+\
⌘+\

How can I configure PhpStorm to use the "non-native" fullscreen mode? I'd like PhpStorm to be fullscreen (without the macOS top menu bar, etc), in the same window (without creating a new window that I have to scroll between).
The terminal for macOS iTerm2 have this setting. You can choose to remove the tick from "Native full screen windows". When this tick is removed, the fullscreen mode will simply take out all space in the window, without creating a new separate window.
Native fullscreen example
Notice how a new separate "window" is created called "PhpStorm"
Non-native fullscreen example
Notice how theres still one window called "Desktop". The iTerm window fills out the whole screen though.
the only way you can do it at the moment is by adjusting the dock in mac to hide menu automatically and then spread the editor to wider and higher setting
click right on the dock in mac and goto settings and hide menu works for me
i am suffering from same issue lol after i saw iterm2 :P
I have an application that at times can bring a view into fullscreen mode on a second display. The application does this by using the "enterFullscreenMode:withOptions" api on the view.
How ever what's odd is that while in fullscreen mode on another display, system shortcuts such as cmd+tab or alt+space doesn't work any more, all normal characters work though. And when I bring the view out of fullscreen mode the keyboard works normally again.
How can I fix this?
I'm writing an app that should remain visible on the desktop at all times. As such, I have to prevent other apps' windows moving on top of my app's window.
The Dock.app from Mac OS X partially does this: if you resize windows, they won't resize into the Dock.app's screen space, and if you hit the windows' '+' button, the window will not cover the dock.
Is it possible to replicate this functionality, and if so, how can I do it?
I'm not sure how well it will work and it definitely requires "Enable access for assistive devices" to be enabled in the "Universal Access" system preference panel, but you could try using the Accessibility Hierarchy to monitor window frame changes of all on-screen windows and further manipulate them as desired.
Somehow, Expression Blend has entered full-screen mode (no window chrome), but I can still minimize/maximize/restore/move through the taskbar button. I don't see any menu options for full-screen mode, and the normal keyboard shortcuts don't work (F11, Alt-Enter).
I'm not sure how this happened, but I would sorely love to get my chrome back to make interacting with the window easier.
I've never seen a Full-screen mode in Blend. Maybe you accidentally hit Tab or F4 and did an Auto-hide to all of the panels?
you can press ESC button
in code use:
Application.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen = false;
check this
After not even trying to use Blend for my application for a really long time, it turns out it was my own fault to begin with. I had created a custom chrome control that would find its parent Window and remove the frame. I wasn't checking design mode, so whenever my control was instantiated by blend, it would remove all the chrome from the window :).
I have an OpenGL-based app that can run windowed or fullscreen in OS X 10.5. While in windowed mode, pressing the volume keys in the keyboard changes the volume setting (mute/unmute for example) and the OSX-drawn speaker icon overlay is drawn, as it happens with every other application.
However, in full screen mode, pressing the keys does change the volume setting, but no overlay is drawn - I can't figure out why, since I'm not doing anything different.
Any ides?
When you are in fullscreen, your app captures the display and nothing else can draw to the screen as the window server is not asked to do it's compositing.
If you want to have regular compositing in full screen, you must hide the menu bar, window title bar, and make your window full screen.
Google a bit, there are tons of posts on how to do that without capturing the display.
