.fullscreen on Windows #207

Closed ghandhikus closed 2 years ago

The fullscreen function should at least maximise the cmd as there is no option for the library to maximise it.

@ghandhikus Maybe the name is confusing, but that option was never meant to make the host terminal application to go fullscreen. It makes your CLI application use the whole area of the terminal using (if supported by your terminal) an alternate buffer. I don't think Windows has a terminal with such feature.

I don't know Windows enough to provide an example, but if you know a bit of Linux, the correct use-case is for CLI application like htop, that uses the whole terminal, but when you quit it, it restores your shell command history.
