<desc>Enable fullscreen mode.</desc>
</info>
<title>Fullscreen session</title>
<p>Fullscreen mode allows <app>Terminal</app> to use the entire screen.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To enable fullscreen mode:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Select <gui style="menu">View</gui> and check
<gui style="menuitem">Full Screen</gui>, or press <key>F11</key>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="important">
<p>The menubar will still be visible in fullscreen mode unless you have
hidden it.</p>
</note>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you have more than one <app>Terminal</app> tab open, the tab bar will
be visible in the fullscreen mode.</p>
</note>
<p>To disable fullscreen mode:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>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>.</p>
