Fullscreen Mode
Full screen. Zero distractions. Just you and the command line.
What is Fullscreen Mode in Chau7?
Fullscreen Mode in Chau7 uses the native macOS fullscreen API. When you enter fullscreen, Chau7 creates a dedicated macOS Space and hides the menu bar for maximum screen real estate.
Chau7 automatically recalculates the terminal grid when entering fullscreen. Row and column counts expand to fill the entire display, and the tab bar and any configured padding remain visible.
Does Chau7 fullscreen work with macOS Spaces?
Yes. Entering fullscreen in Chau7 creates a native macOS Space. Chau7 integrates fully with Mission Control and trackpad swiping gestures for switching between Spaces.
The fullscreen transition in Chau7 uses the standard macOS animation. You can swipe between the fullscreen Chau7 terminal and other apps using the trackpad, just like any native macOS fullscreen window.
Can I use Split View with Chau7 in fullscreen?
Yes. Chau7 supports macOS Split View. You can tile Chau7 alongside another application in a shared fullscreen Space.
Split View with Chau7 is useful when you need a terminal side by side with a browser, editor, or documentation window. Chau7 recalculates the terminal grid to fit the Split View pane size.
How does Chau7's fullscreen mode compare to other terminals?
Most terminals support basic fullscreen. However, Chau7 provides full macOS Space integration, Split View support, Mission Control compatibility, and automatic grid recalculation in a single package.
Chau7 also lets you remap the fullscreen keyboard shortcut in its keybindings preferences. The default is Ctrl+Cmd+F, matching the macOS standard.
Why Chau7 fullscreen matters
Fullscreen mode in Chau7 eliminates every visual distraction. This matters during deep debugging, code reviews in the terminal, or SSH sessions where you need maximum screen real estate.
Chau7 uses native macOS fullscreen with proper Space integration, so switching between the fullscreen terminal and other apps is a trackpad swipe away. No window management required.
