Trying to enable fullscreen for a Windows 7 VM, and following the Qubes instructions. They say to enter the following into the /etc/qubes/guid.conf file in Dom0:

VM: {
personal: {
allow_fullscreen = true;
};
};

My question is, where do I type that in? I found the file in dom0 but if I need to enter it into the document itself, then I need software to open a text file. Is any include in Qubes?

I like to use vim in dom0. It's already included.

It can be challenging if you're new to vim, so you might want to check
out a tutorial. Here's an example of one of the top search engine hits
for "vim" that looks helpful:

It looks like nano is also included. It's commonly regarded as easier
to use, so you might want to check that out first if you're not
familiar with vim.

Ok, I used vim and I wanted to just make sure with you that the file looked right so I attached it. I may have accidentally made some changes, but I don't think so. But I can't seem to figure out how to save the file as edited. I tried a few commands like "x" from the instructions but the "insert word is still at the bottom and it doesn't say anything when I press enter.

You can save in vim by typing “:w”
If you want to save and exit “:wq”
If you want to quit without saving “:q!”

The quotation marks are not part of the commands

I forgot to mention, you should type Escape to exit Insert mode
