Add F11 for fullscreen shortcut
Last modified: 2005-05-01 00:06:04 UTC
It would be nice if totem supported F11 for fullscreen in addition to F. Many GNOME/GTK programs now use F11 to switch to fullscreen. Here's a list of the ones I have found: Firefox evince eog Now you can argue that this should have been done via the global fullscreen shortcut and I would agree with you except the aforementioned programs use F11 anyway AND only evince switches to its true fullscreen mode. Totem similarly doesn't switch to its true fullscreen mode and you should see what happens if you press F then the global fullscreen shortcut on a windowed totem...
I forgot to mention that I did a quick search and could not find any hard and fast rules over what the fullscreen key should be in GNOME only mention that typically the global fullscreen shortcut is bound to Ctrl-F11 (on my Mdk10.2RC2 install it was not bound at all). I could only find discussion: Default WM fullscreen key: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input-keyboard.html#shortcuts What's a good fullscreen key?: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-September/msg00004.html
2005-04-10 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/totem.c: (totem_action_handle_key): add F11 as a shortcut to fullscreen (Closes: #173154) I couldn't get the unmaximise, or toggle maximisation state shortcut keys to do anything while in fullscreen mode. It would be a window manager bug to accept this while the window is in a maximised state.
Oops I didn't make myself clear. I'll post some steps: 1. Start /usr/bin/gnome-keybinding-properties . 2. Ensure that "Window Management" | "Toggle fullscreen mode" is bound to a shortcut (I used F10). Note the shortcut. 3. Start totem . 4. In totem press f . Totem will go fullscreen. 5. Press the shortcut noted in Step 2. Expected result: Totem to return to windowed mode with menu bar and widgets visible. Actual result: Totem returns to windowed mode with menu bar and widgets absent. Additional information: Pressing f while in the no-widgets-windowed state makes the widgets appear without going fullscreen.
Indeed, filed as bug #302592
