Most gnome-apps maximize by pressing F11, would be nice if devhelp would
do this too.

Not a high prio for me, I don't see the point in having it fullscreen since you use it together with an editor most of the time... but if someone writes the patch, I won't object to having it committed.

Comment 3 Richard Hult 2009-02-19 10:21:06 UTC 
The more I think about it, the worse idea it is to have fullscreen just for
consistency... or maybe you use devhelp completely differently than I do?
Comment 4 Guido Günther 2009-02-19 11:33:29 UTC 
Devhelp isn't just API docs. It also has tuturials and examples and reading these on smalls screen on laptops/netbooks (like on train rides when you finally find the time) is certainly a bonus.
Comment 5 Frederic Peters 2009-10-04 13:53:12 UTC 
True enough, so even if I don't have such an usage I added fullscreen mode support; it's based on gedit behaviour, I hope you'll like it (it will be in 2.29.0).
