Describe the feature

It's more useful than native since you can still have windows behind it and cmd-tab without changing spaces and waiting for the slide animation. It would also allow for opening new Zed windows in the current space without new spaces being created at the tail.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Hey @diocletiann, I'm trying to understand the request here. Are you wanting an action that just expands the window out to the full height and width of the screen, but without entering into macOS' full screen mode? And if so, how do you see that being trigggerd? A command palette action, key binding, or UI element?

[diocletiann]

@JosephTLyons I'm referring to the old macOS fullscreen mode that didn't create a dedicated space, aka borderless. What some apps do is have a config option for the fullscreen mode type and the user can choose native or borderless.

Ah, you want the non-native fullscreen, right? I love that. I added it to Ghostty and my proof-of-concept is here: https://github.com/mrnugget/non-native-fullscreen In Ghostty it's grown more complex because you need to respect the notch on MacBooks, stuff moving from window to window, etc. But I think it could be relatively straightforward.

Thank you fellow traveler! The Ghostty implementation works great btw.

I would love this feature too, here's some context from the kitty project:

that issue provides a link to the iterm implementation:
