Hi - I'm on ChromeOs and I recently migrated from the Secure Shell App to the Secure Shell Extension as requested.

Now the Secure Shell opens in a new Window that doesn't seem to be able to go fullscreen, at least on ChromeOs. Is there a workaround for this? It's not a dealbreaker but I do lose a bit of screen estate.

Thanks!

Davide

ps - I found it somewhat counterintuitive that the App used to open in a Chrome Tab and the extension opens as a new non-Chrome-looking window... Shouldn't it be the other way around?

did you press the fullscreen button on the keyboard ?

as for launcher changes, the fact that the app opened as a tab and not a window by default was a long standing bug.  we fixed it as part of the extension migration.

On my Lenovo C330 ChromeOS, I think the ssh app 0.39 opened in a nominal sized window initially, but I can expand it to almost-full with the fullscreen control in the top right of the window.
The fullscreen button (next to the refresh circle on my keyboard), toggles between the nominal size and a full screen with no borders.
Other windows open at that last used size. I thought each host connection had its own remembered size, but that doesn't seem true, today.
The size seems to be remembered for the next opening, although it has the border.

Erm... yes the keyboard button does work, thanks Mike.

Disclosure: I'm working from a ChromeBox and don't have a standard ChromeOS keyboard, that's why I'm not used to ChromeOS buttons specifically. Apologies for the noise!

if you're in a tab, the standard F11 key will toggle fullscreen.  that's how Chrome & most web browsers work.

but if you're in a window, only the fullscreen button will work atm.  we haven't had requests for supporting anything else.
