I try the Command for full screen view.
However, it does not work. Anyone can tell why?
Rookie, never mind:)

More detail would be helpful.  What exactly are you doing, and what
happens (if anything)?

This should work:
(set-frame-parameter 'fullscreen 'fullboth)

If you put the following in your ~/.emacs.el, you can toggle fullscreen
with M-Ret.

(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen (if (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)
                                           nil
                                           'fullboth)))

(global-set-key [(meta return)] toggle-fullscreen)

I checked the preceding posts, and try to set my 'fullscreen'. But it
still doesn't work.
'mac-toggle-mac-window' seems to happen nothing.
I also copy the codes you give, but.....- -! still

Any idea?

You need to be more precise.  What exactly did you try, and what exactly
happened?  Did you get an error message?

> 'mac-toggle-mac-window' seems to happen nothing.

That function no longer exists in the summer edition of Carbon Emacs
Package.

> I also copy the codes you give, but.....- -! still

First, press M-: (the command key and the colon).
Next, On the "Eval:" prompt in the minibuffer, enter

   (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'fullboth)

and press return.  This should switch to fullscreen.  If it does not,
can you please describe exactly what happens?

Vebjorn

P.S. In my previous post, I accidentally left out the nil in the
set-frame-parameter form.

Thank you Vebjorn. It works now.
Is there a simple way to use fullscreen mode?

Best wishes.

I'm glad.

> Is there a simple way to use fullscreen mode?

Put the following in your ~/.emacs.el, then evaluate it (or if you don't
know what that means, just restart emacs).  You can them press Command
and Return in order to toggle full-screen mode.

(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen (if (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)
                                           nil
                                           'fullboth)))

(global-set-key [(meta return)] toggle-fullscreen)

The thing comes out- -!
;;full screen
(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen (if (frame-parameter nil
'fullscreen)
                                           nil
                                           'fullboth)))
(global-set-key [(meta return)] toggle-fullscreen)

;; Starts the Emacs server
(server-start)
(defun raise-emacs-on-aqua()
  (shell-command 'tell application \"Emacs\" to activate' &"))
(add-hook 'server-switch-hook 'raise-emacs-on-aqua)

For fullscreen the shortcut doesn't work, and then the following
pdfsync is out of order- -!
any idea? Sorry to bother you again and again.

I got it working with the following key binding:
(global-set-key [(meta return)] 'toggle-fullscreen)
Note the apostrophe before the function name.

Very useful function - thanks Vebjorn.

Yes, of course---that's what I get for writing code blindly!  Thanks for
pointing it out.
