Full-screen toggle from "F" key in navigation mode


Recommended Posts

Currently, full-screen mode can be toggled from the video player or from navigation mode by pressing the F11 key.

From the video player, the "F" key also toggles full-screen mode.  In navigation mode, "F" does nothing.

My request is to allow the "F" key to also toggle full-screen while navigating the library, just like the F11 key does.

Thanks!

Hi, the problem is that it would conflict with the ability to type in a letter in a list and scroll down to that letter. Why not just use f11?

Fair point - I didn't know that scroll feature existed until now.

Also, I didn't know about F11 until I searched this forum while preparing this request.  Now that I know about it, and the reason for not allowing F in the navigation conext, I'll use it.

Could F11 be added to the "Keyboard and Remote" help feature?  That's where I had looked for such a shortcut, and didn't find it.

Thanks!

F11 is standard browser feature. At least on windows.

It wasn't obvious to me that this would work in the Windows Store app for Emby, since it's not a browser.

I think it's a general windows function as it seems to work with any app provided they haven't overridden f11.

It's just a convention and should be documented where it is implemented.  For example, here is the Chrome documentation for F11:  https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?sjid=876777499041284443-NA#zippy=%2Ctab-window-shortcuts
