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?

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:

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:

Numerous extension add unique shortcut commands, like Read Aloud as an example:

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)

Please can you underline the letter in each option that maps to the shortcut key? It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out that there are shortcuts!
