Keyboard Shortcuts for switching Fullscreen modes quickly #36

Open Arxareon opened 2 years ago

Arxareon commented 2 years ago

Hey!

I'm using Chrome, I'd really love to have a small feature to be able to change fullscreen modes quickly via browser shortcuts. Currently, only the default open the extension popup keyboard shortcut is present which is not a big help because I still have to navigate up and change the setting manually.

Otherwise, very nice tool!

You mean change the default fullscreen mode from the top-bar button?

Arxareon commented 2 years ago

Right now, I can only change the Fullscreen behavior via clicking on the extension icon at the top of my browser window that opens up this menu: image Alternatively, I can set up a keyboard shortcut in Chrome to open this extension menu up top, but that isn't really that helpful.

I can of course set it so Ask, but then I'd have to select the option every time I fullscreen content.

What I mean is, I'd like to have the option for custom keybind settings within the browser to set/toggle specific fullscreen modes. Currently, there is only the default shortcut provided by Chrome: image Numerous extension add unique shortcut commands, like Read Aloud as an example: image

Yeah, it'd be great if the menu only appeared upon pressing the fullscreen button or the [F] key with [SHIFT] held down.

That's not what I mean. I was suggesting keybinding to apply certain fullscreen modes instantly. Having the ask window pop up based on pressing Shift for instance would not be the best solution.

Why not both? :-)

Hi, I think my request is similar to Arxareon's. It would be great if we could use to shortcuts without first having to open the pop-up menu. For example, when on the page of a YouTube video, I could press "i" and open the in-window view immediately, without having to deal with the pop-up menu at all.

In any case, I love the extension! People like you make life easier. I am currently learning JavaScript. I would love to create browser extensions myself some day.

I can't do this, sadly. This extension is website independent, and I can't beforehand know how a website wants to be "fullscreened". So Best I can do is pressing whatever the fullscreen shortcut for a website is, followed by pressing i when the popup is open. (Every option has a shortcut when the popup is open)
