Ubuntu MATE: How to enter and exit full screen view using key combination in virt-manager?

kp flag

Is there a key combination to enter and exit fullscreen view in virt-manager, while a virtual machine is running, and its window open?

Obviously I can enter or exit using mouse:

To enter: Click View > Fullscreen

To exit: Hover mouse at the top-center, and click Leave fullscreen icon.

I have tried key combinations from this AskUbuntu thread: How do I unmaximize full screen view in virt-manager? but they are not working in Ubuntu MATE 21.04. Many thanks.

OS: Ubuntu MATE 21.04

virt-manager: 1:3.2.0-3

Grab keyboard back by Ctrl_L+Alt_L and then use graphical widget on top

leave fullscreen

to switch to windowed mode.

Also see https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/issues/91 . It is bug (and bad documentation) of virt-manager, not in Ubuntu or Ubuntu MATE itself.

Thanks for the workaround. Let's see if the developers add proper key combination like VMware or VirtualBox, if ever.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
