Hi guys. Like the title says, Waveform has no Fullscreen mode, at least on Linux. When you put it on fullscreen, it only maximize, no fullscreen. Is there any trick to put it in fullscreen?. I'm on Arch Linux KDE.
Thanks in advance.

MENU -> Actions -> Keyboard shortcuts -> View -> Toggles fullscreen window modeKott wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 8:13 pm Hi, how do you put it to Fullscreen? I see only Max/Restore button.
I don't think that Action is set to a keyboard shortcut by default. I set mine to Ctrl + F12.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

It would be possible to set a shortcut in Waveform to function "Toggle fullscreen window mode".
I confirm that it is not switching to fullscreen mode on my Debian12 (KDE/X11) either, but toggles to some "Maximize" mode.
As you are using KDE, what's about setting a general KDE shortcut for this. This should then work for all apps, even if they don't bring themselves such function:
SYSTEM SETTINGS > SHORTCUTS > down in category system settings: KWIN > Make Window Fullscreen
This shortcut will act as a toggle, so it can also be used to leave the fullscreen view mode. I therefore prefer it over a right click on the task bar entry of the app and there in "more" calling fullscreen mode, because you in fullscreen mode will not see the task bar anymore and therefore can't leave the fullscreen mode that same way - if you now wouldn't have another app started (which wasn't set to full screen mode) and could i.e. ALT+TAB change to it to there get a task bar seen again, then you would be lost in fullscren mode. So, I recommend to set a keyboard shortcut as described above.
