Fullscreen: enable revealing the tabs by hovering at the top of the screen

Open kuhnboy opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Hello, This terminal is excellent and I would like to propose a suggeestion.

In full screen mode there doesn't seem to be a way to switch or add tabs easily. Perhaps mouse movement could popout from the edge of the screen the tabs and a way to switch between them.

I ultimately would just like to leave this up fullscreen on one of my monitors.

Edge is implementing a full screen slide in for the tabs when you mouse to the top. Ideally this would be added to the Tab Control or to Windows Terminal.

I vote for Keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+PgUp / PageDown :) Thanks!

So, right now the answer is use the existing keyboard shortcuts:

  • new tab: ctrl+shift+t
  • close tab: ctrl+shift+w
  • next tab: ctrl+tab
  • prev tab: ctrl+shift+tab

For the future, I'm making this the "enable revealing the tab bar in fullscreen mode" issue. Link: #3486.

Workaround for exiting fullscreen if you can't use the function keys:

  1. Open a new instance of Windows Terminal.
  2. Execute osk.
  3. Use fn+f11 to exit fullscreen.
