Feature request - Fullscreen mac

<< < (2/3) > >>

tdipower:
So I guess that's a no to the question about fullscreen functionality?

glynor:
They're currently working on MC28 in Beta. My recommendation would be to wait for the first builds of that to come out and ask on the board they make for it.

I, personally, never use the Mac "green orb" fullscreen mode. But I can see how it is useful for people on laptops, so probably worth implementing. MC on Windows does have a very similar mode, that I think could fulfill the need, if ported and connected to the Green Orb.

Awesome Donkey:
If they add support for it, I hope it's optional and disabled by default. I personally don't like the function of the green full screen button in other macOS apps - I prefer the green spotlight button to function as a toggle for maximized and windowed mode.

I mean, technically, when implemented properly, they're all optional. Hold Option and click them and they do the thing that you (and I) usually want.

I wish there was an Options Write command you could do to reverse it permanently on your system, but thus far, no such thing exists.

My gut instinct is that, if they implement it, they should follow the system standard and make it on by default. Otherwise you're fighting everyone's muscle memory. Though, an internal Option to "swap modes" (Option-Click on Green Orb does fullscreen, standard click acts like it does currently) would be nice.

As a Mac user and 9yr customer of MC, I'd like to add an up-vote +10 for @tdipower and his feature request. MC's implementation on the Mac suffers for this omission. One thing the thread discussion lacks as I type this (28 May) is that the Mac users with trackpads on laptops, or in my case the Magic Trackpad on my 27" iMac, quickly get used to swipe gestures that make navigating desktops and full screen apps a breeze.  I never use a PC/Mac mouse. Ever. Separate desktops and full screen apps behave in the same way in terms of navigating them. A truly native full screen MC would just hang out to the "virtual right" of whatever I'm working on. Four finger swipe to the left and it's instantly in front of me. Four finger swipe up and I can pick one, or drag an app to that desktop, rearrange the desktops, etc. It's reflexive. I'll have as many as 6 full-screen app/desktop combos running on any given day. Ironically, many are Microsoft apps like PPT and Excel. Once you start using the feature it becomes something you *really* miss when it's not available.

MC is the only app I have running 24/7 on a Mac that does not perform like all other apps in this regard. The Windows implementation of multiple desktops is good. My wife has a nice high end Dell Windows desktop setup I mess with all the time for various things.  But it's not on par with the Mac combined w/ a trackpad. If you're using a mouse on a Mac then this will be lost on you. (Yeah, I have a Magic Mouse too. Good but not the same. Currently covered in dust.)  The green orb should just function like everything else. Gimme a full screen app like all the others. If MS Office implemented it on their Mac apps then why not MC?
