Make Native Fullscreen Toggleable in Lion #361

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Due to the focus bug in OS X since Tiger with spaces (and now whatever replaced 
it) I had to stop using spaces.  The issue is that if you use Alt+Tab to switch 
from one space to a window of a different application on another space that has 
more than one window (Browsers, Terminal etc.) it will randomly focus something 
else or move windows into the background.

Since I was using Vim in fullscreen so far I had to stop doing that since it 
now has the native fullscreen since Snapshot 61 which opens a new space.  
Please make this behavior toggleable since I doubt Apple will ever fix the 
focus issue which exists for more than three years now.

I reported the same thing in issue 351.  It would be nice to get this provided 
as a GUI toggle or Vim option, but the toggle is present in the form of a 
default:

defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMNativeFullScreen 0

So many people are requesting this that I might add a toggle in the preferences 
in the near future.

Bjorn: Please do. Lion-style fullscreen is basically useless for those that use 
keyboard to switch between spaces (well, at least for those that use it in sane 
manner, that is Control+number) and it really, really doesn't make sense to 
force us to use touchpad/mouse gesture and/or additional key-combo 
(control+arrow) just to get to MacVim, especially considering Vim is so heavily 
keyboard oriented.  In fact, I would suggest to revert default to old behavior, 
but that's of course up to you.

Thanks so much for the the default toggle!  Excited to use full screen on the 
laptop again and have it stay in the right Space.
