Franz: Franz is blocked in full screen

Created on 22 Mar 2018 · 15Comments · Source: meetfranz/franz

When I open Franz, it will always open in full screen and I can't reduce it, and when I click on the button to reduce the window, it doesn't work.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to reduce Franz window how I want

Current Behavior

I can't reduce Franz window, and when I click on the button to reduce the window, it doesn't work.

Context

I like to put 2 windows on my screen but I can't because of this issue and I use Franz for a lop of app , so it is really slowing me in my work.

Your Environment

Franz Version used: 5.0.0-beta.17
Operating System and version: windows 10

As a quick fix,

Quit Franz
Go to %APPDATA%\Franz
Delete the window-state.json

We are going to add fullscreen controls with the next update.

Note that you can press Ctrl+F to exit (and re-enter) fullscreen.

I would suggest, though, to change the key binding to Ctrl+Shift+F (and optionally F11, maybe).

Why? Because Ctrl+F is typically used for "Edit > Find ..." (i.e. Search). "Full Screen", on the other hand, is more typically activated via Ctrl+Shift+F (Slack client, and others) and F11 (Firefox, Chromium).

Just noted that using <Ctrl>+<F> makes it impossible to search for text in Gmail. I regularly do this for finding an email (by subject) quickly. The Franz window activates/deactivates full-screen instead.

Oh, "Find ..." wouldn't be available anyway. :unamused:

Thank you so much!

Now you can press F11 only for exit and enter full screen

Deleting window-state.json worked for me.

On that note, it would've been great to show windows menu on Alt press - just like in any other app. I had hard times getting out until I found this post. And F11 was not a shortcut that came to my mind (although I admit it should've :) )
