fluxbox fullscreen window action

Hello everyone,

I've been reading the fluxbox documentation, and have been getting my keybindings and such as right as I can over the past week. However, I don't see any method in fluxbox for setting a window state to fullscreen, which I would think would be an option somewhere...

Anybody know if this can be done, or better yet, if fluxbox offers an action for it that I can bind a key to?

Thanks,
James

Just to make sure I'm reading this right, you're asking what the keystroke is to maximize a window in fluxbox?

If so, check out http://www.fluxbox.org/docbook/en/html/x352.html. That page shows the actions.

I think you have to assign a keystroke to the action in the keys file.

So something like:

Mod1 Ctrl + :MaximizeWindow

The above syntax may not be 100% correct. I don't understand the difference between specifing Mod1 and Mod4, etc.
:MaximizeWindow is the action, that's the important part. You should be able to assign any keystroke to that action.

I got the syntax and other info from hitting the Prev button on that link to go back a few pages.
Hope it helps.

Mod1 is the Alt key and Mod4 is the Windows key

Thanks for the input... Actually though, I'm looking for fullscreen specifically (no window titlebar, no resize bar, no fluxbox panel). I'm positng my current .fluxbox/keys file below for clarification (and for others who might be reading this thread looking for a head-start of sorts):

Code:

Mod1 Tab :NextWindow

Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow

Mod1 F1 :Workspace 1

Mod1 F2 :Workspace 2

Mod1 F3 :Workspace 3

Mod1 F4 :Workspace 4

Mod1 F5 :Workspace 5

Mod1 F6 :Workspace 6

Mod1 F7 :Workspace 7

Mod1 F8 :Workspace 8

Mod1 F9 :Workspace 9

Mod1 F10 :Workspace 10

Mod1 F11 :Workspace 11

Mod1 F12 :Workspace 12



Mod4 F1 :SendToWorkspace 1

Mod4 F2 :SendToWorkspace 2

Mod4 F3 :SendToWorkspace 3

Mod4 F4 :SendToWorkspace 4

Mod4 F5 :SendToWorkspace 5

Mod4 F6 :SendToWorkspace 6

Mod4 F7 :SendToWorkspace 7

Mod4 F8 :SendToWorkspace 8

Mod4 F9 :SendToWorkspace 9

Mod4 F10 :SendToWorkspace 10

Mod4 F11 :SendToWorkspace 11

Mod4 F12 :SendToWorkspace 12



Mod4 n :Minimize

Mod4 m :Maximize

Mod4 x :Close

Mod4 k :KillWindow



Control F2 :ExecCommand fbrun

Mod1 Shift f :ExecCommand /usr/local/firefox/firefox

Mod4 i :ExecCommand xzgv

Mod4 c :ExecCommand /usr/local/color/bin/gcolor2

Mod4 q :ExecCommand aterm



Mod1 e :ExecCommand aterm -name alsa -e alsamixer

Control Shift m :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master toggle 

Mod1 Shift equal :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master 5%+

Mod1 Shift minus :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master 5%-

Mod1 Mod4 equal :ExecCommand amixer -q set PCM 5%+

Mod1 Mod4 minus :ExecCommand amixer -q set PCM 5%-



Control Shift s :ExecCommand xmms --fwd

Control Shift e :ExecCommand xmms --play-pause

Thanks guys,
James

Ancient thread, I know, but I noticed it while searching for (and finding) the solution myself. Anyway, use ":Fullscreen", as in:

Code:

Mod4 f :Fullscreen

Hope that helps somebody in modern times :)

Jessard, thanks for the response!

I've since switched from fluxbox to awesome (a variant of dwm), but it's great to see someone figured this out.

Take it easy,
James

Huh, haven't heard of that one before... I think I'll give it a try. I like the idea of tiling window managers, but I always end up switching back after a while (mostly because of bugs like the GTK save-as dialog problem). Maybe things have gotten better since then; thanks for the reminder :)
