How to get out of fullscreen mode?

  • 772

I was stuck in Geany in fullscreen mode and unable to get out. All the suggestions I found on websites were too complicated (for me). I finally discovered that by depressing the ALT key and the V key, the view menu opens and I was able to uncheck fullscreen mode. Problem solved.

This appears to be the way one sees menus while in fullscreen mode: ALT + , e.g., File Edit View etc.

  3. This helped me on a guest Ubuntu running with VMware on a mac host.

    I changed the line fullscreen=true in file ~/.config/geany/geany.conf to fullscreen=false.

    1. Right click on the terminal
    2. select Leave Full Screen

    And I got the normal screen again.
