    <desc>Enable fullscreen mode.</desc>

  </info>

  <title>Fullscreen session</title>

  
Fullscreen mode allows <app>Terminal</app> to use the entire screen.

  
This mode is useful if you have a device with limited screen space and

  intend to work in <app>Terminal</app> for a long duration, or are working with

  long lines of terminal output. It temporarily hides the window

  decoration, allowing you to view more <link xref="pref-scrolling">scrollback

  lines</link> on the screen.

  
To enable fullscreen mode:

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Select <gui style="menu">View</gui> and check

      <gui style="menuitem">Full Screen</gui>, or press <key>F11</key>.

    </item>

  </steps>

  <note style="important">

    
The menubar will still be visible in fullscreen mode unless you have

    hidden it.

  </note>

  <note style="tip">

    
If you have more than one <app>Terminal</app> tab open, the tab bar will

    be visible in the fullscreen mode.

  </note>

  
To disable fullscreen mode:

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Select <gui style="menu">View</gui> and uncheck

      <gui style="menuitem">Full Screen</gui>, or right click and select

      <gui style="menuitem">Leave Full Screen</gui>. Alternatively,

      press <key>F11</key>.

    </item>

  </steps>
