  Hi,

  On a Mac MINI, Full Screen (under View) has the short cut shown as “fn F”

  It is however “Control Command F”

  • The Simplenote Mac app (from the Mac App Store) uses fn + F for Full Screen.
  • The Simplenote Electron app (downloaded from https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases/tag/v2.24.0) follows the standard macOS shortcut, Control + Command + F.

  So depending on which version you’re using, you’ll see a different shortcut listed under View → Full Screen. Both are correct for their respective versions.

  Hi Frank thanks for the reply – yes that works – the fn key was not very visible on my keyboard (not along the top). Worth mentioning for anyone who is used to Mac short cuts, that BOTH of these work on a Mac.

  Hi @loudlyluckyb5a94280b5,

  Thanks for following up and for confirming that both shortcuts work on your Mac — that’s great to hear! 🙌

  You’re absolutely right — it’s worth noting for other users that both fn + F and Control + Command + F can toggle full screen, depending on your keyboard layout and which version of the Simplenote app you’re using.
