Toggle fullscreen in voice control context not possible

[Thomas Kekeisen]

For now, its not possible to toggle the browsers full screen mode in a self-implemented voice command since chrome reports this error:

> Failed to execute 'requestFullscreen' on 'Element': API can only be initiated by a user gesture.

But actually, telling the browser "go to fullscreen" is kinda user gesture. What do you think about this? Should there a possibility to create new Instance of webkitSpeechRecognition with the right, to call webkitRequestFullscreen somewhen in its context?

Code:

var s = new webkitSpeechRecognition();

s.onresult = function (event) {
    console.log('user told us to "enter fullscreen"');

    document.body.webkitRequestFullscreen();
};

s.start();

Interesting use case. :)

Generally, for feature requests, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue for this feature request and star it. If you cannot find one, you can use the "New issue" link at crbug.com to file a new one.

(If you do find one, do not add comments like "+1" or "me, too", it only hinders the development and it does not make the engineers implement the feature more quickly.)
