Full screen without keyboard

[Didier B]

Hello everybody !
I am using OpenCPN in Openplotter OS.

Most common commands can be properly executed with a mouse, however, the following action DO REQUIRE a keyboard :
- leave window mode to go full screen mode (the right-click 'Togle Full Screen' only appears in full screen mode and not in windows mode)


Is there a workaround avoiding to use the keyboard ?

Your problem is fixed in the 4.99 beta series. Toggle full screen always appears in the right-click menu.

you could start with

opencpn -fullscreen

In Openplotter, startup tab, there is a tickbox option which does exactly that !
But I like Full screen mode, specially on my not-so-big display !

The only drawback is the need of the F11 key, i.e. the need of the keyboard...
