Hi Pirmin,

I would like to use my virtual machine in fullscreen mode on my sculpt. If I'm interpreting the configuration of the floating_window_layouter correctly, the key combination [SCREEN]+[ENTER] will toggle the fullscreen mode of a window.
Further there is a normally disabled configuration in /config/input_fliter that remaps the key [LEFTMETA] to [SCREEN]. However when I enable the remapping and start the wm and the virtual machine, pressing [LEFTMETA] and [ENTER] as described in the sequence of the layouter.config nothing happens.
Do I need to change something else?
by default, Sculpt is configured such that all key combinations involving the 'SCREEN' key to the window layouter. In config/input_filter, 'LEFTMETA' (windows key) is mapped to 'SCREEN' by default. In contrast to your observation, it is not disabled. Do you happen to use a stale input_filter configuration?
Yes, now I remember. I disabled this as otherwise the LEFTMEAT key wasn't working inside the VM.
Does [LEFTMETA]+[TAB] works for cycling through multiple windows? If yes, then the input filter and window layouter are configured correctly. This should be the case by default.
This works, the color of the title bar changes slightly.
The VM's response to maximize events (as triggered by [LEFTMETA]+[ENTER] or by the maximize button at the top-left window corner) is a bit of a hit-or-miss, unfortunately. The screen-size change is handled the VBox guest additions. So it does only work when those are installed and running. Even if so, it sometimes takes quite a long time for the screen change to take effect. The delay needs further investigation. But apart from this, it should work in principle.
Now letting the VM "rest" after pressing maximize for a long time the machine switched to full screen mode. So switching fullscreen works (as usual I was not patient enough with the computer ;-) ).
Would it be faster to set the size of the nit_fb from outside (kind of like it is done when the window is resized)?
Best regards, Pirmin
