Ctrl-N or Shift-Ctrl N opens a new window (not what I want)!

[Willy Nolan]

When using Secure Shell on Windows I use the Emacs editor.  The default keybinding, one which I would like to keep, is for Ctrl-N to go to a new line. Unfortunately in the Secure Shell extension this opens a new window. Is there a way to prevent this from happening and make the Ctrl-N go straight to the extensions?

On any platform exception mac-os, you can right click on the secure shell launcher icon, select "Open as Window", and relaunch.  Secure Shell will open in its own dedicated window and Ctrl-N/T/W will be sent to the host as expected.  Unfortunately there's no way for a page in a tab to capture Ctrl-N/T/W, they're always consumed by Chrome.

This is nice, however, one issue is that I can not make Secure Shell full screen when it is run as a separate window like this.  In other words the title bar is still there at the top.  My hope was that I would be able to get a completely full screen terminal set up by using "presentation mode" and this extension in a new tab.

Also - is there a way to run as its own window in Chrome on Mac OS?

does F11 not work to make it fullscreen ?

Unfortunately no, F11 works for normal tabs for windows, but (at least for me) not on extensions in Chrome. (It just prints out the tilde character)

No, unfortunately "Open as Window" isn't implemented on Mac OS .  However, on the keys don't clash on Mac OS.  New window is Cmd-N, and emacs newline is Ctrl-N.  If you want to use Cmd as Ctrl on a Mac, you'll have another problem.

This is actually great as Mac is my preferred method. I will definitely keep Ctl-N on Mac.
So, is the takeaway, there is no way to use Ctrl-N as newline on Windows except as its own window (in which case it can not be made into presentation mode)?

SecureShell is an app ;). how about shift+F11? I only have Linux/CrOS, so can't test other OS's.

I vaguely recall you could also set apps to auto open in a full screen window and not just a window.

Basically, except that Secure Shell (dev) has the ability to modify the key bindings.  (That link only works if you're signed into an account that is a member of this mailing list.)

There are some instructions here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-hterm/KTfI_C4RHj8/A3x_4Fh89lsJ

You'd want to map F11 to PASS by setting the keybindings preference to { "F11": "PASS" }.  Now you won't be able to send an F11 to the host program, but you may be able to enable full-screen.  I haven't tried this, so it's possible Chrome doesn't map F11 to full-screen for apps by default.

And how do I update the keybindings (thanks for your help)

[Willy Nolan]

Sorry, I just saw the instructions. Thank you for this. Will let you know how it tests!

Sorry to re-open this old group, but in case anyone else comes across this:

In my case, Secure Shell (even as a tab) is able to consume Ctrl-N when the browser is in fullscreen (I also have the appropriate option set in Secure Shell's settings).
