To enter and exit full-screen mode on a Mac, you can follow these simple steps:
Entering Full Screen Mode:
- Open the application or window you want to enter full-screen mode.
- Look for the green button in the top-left corner of the window’s title bar. It usually has a diagonal arrow pointing outward.
- Click on the green button, or press the Control key and click anywhere on the window’s title bar, then choose “Enter Full Screen” from the menu that appears.
- The window will expand to fill the entire screen, entering full-screen mode.
Exiting Full Screen Mode:
- To exit full-screen mode, move your cursor to the top of the screen to reveal the application’s menu bar.
- Look for the green button in the top-left corner of the menu bar. It should now have a diagonal arrow pointing inward or a broken square icon.
- Click on the green button, or press the Control key and click anywhere on the menu bar, then choose “Exit Full Screen” from the menu that appears.
- The window will shrink back to its original size, exiting full-screen mode.
Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts to enter and exit full-screen mode:
- To enter full screen: Press the Control key + Command key + F.
- To exit full screen: Press the Control key + Command key + F again, or press the Escape (Esc) key.
Please note that not all applications or windows support full-screen mode. Some applications may have different methods or specific menu options for entering and exiting full-screen mode.
