I'm trying to toggle fullscreen in iTerm2 by pressing "cmd+enter". Unfortunately it doesn't work when 'top of screen' style is selected in the profile settings (as shown in the attached png). When I press "cmd+enter", the 'view' tab in the menu flashes, but the window remains taking up half the screen instead of fullscreen.

Is it just not possible to switch between halfscreen and fullscreen?

I think this is a bug. I also am unable to go into full screen when switching the style to anything other than normal.

I also have a different version of iTerm than you from what I can tell. (Build 1.0.0.20130319)

  • I am seeing this behavior too on the same build you have (Build 1.0.0.20130319)

  • Looks like this is a known bug targeted for a future release.

Having 'Top of Screen' selected indeed breaks the 'Cmd + Enter' fullscreen capability, but I've noticed that having the Preferences > General: Use Lion-style Fullscreen windows option checked also does a trick on this functionality.

Once you uncheck this, you should be able to use any other style (except the 'Top of Screen' one), and benefit from a functional fullscreen feature ;)

  • Interesting. That must have gotten turned on by a recent update (2.1.1). If I turn off "Lion-style Fullscreen windows" there, then my Cmd-Tab works again to switch between applications.

  • This doesn't work in version 2.1.4 anymore.
