Re: Full screen non-Hildon X applications possible?

[Qole <qole.tablet@xxxxxxxxx>]

My Easy Debian package uses xbindkeys and wmctrl to make any application full screen. It is included in the package as "Set Debian HW Keys". If you don't want to download the 1.1 GB file just to make applications full screen, you can install the easy-deb-chroot package from extras and then look at the /home/user/xbindkeysrc.scm to see how I did it.

Basically, you need to install wmctrl and xbindkeys (you're on your own there; I use the Debian versions), then use xbindkeys to run this command when you press a key or key combination (in my case, you press the "-" hardware key and the "fullscreen" hardware key to toggle):

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen

Excellent.  Thanks.  I'll pursue this avenue.

It's interesting that the search in maemo.org's talk forum didn't find
this thread.

Thanks again,
