Feature request: full screen mode

This one should be a no-brainer. :) And please make it both a command switch and a hotkey toggle.

I know -w [screen res] can kinda achieve that, but videos get stretched if they don't have the same aspect ratio as the screen.

Hey @YZgitter,

we added -W (note the uppercase) for this purpose last year. Did you try it?

video-compare -W video1.mp4 video2.mp4

It will size the window to fit the usable display bounds while maintaining the video’s aspect ratio. This option adjusts for elements like taskbars or OS menus.

Yes, I tried it, but it's not a proper substitute for a full screen view. (A maximized windowed view would also be an improvement over -W.)

OK, I think it’s a good idea, but it’s just not something I’ll do. I’m happy to accept pull requests, though.
