Description Prakash Rangaraj CLA 2009-01-08 03:22:42 EST 
Build ID: I20081210-0100

Steps To Reproduce:
SWT added full screen support for the shells in the 3.4 It would be nice if we have a Window->Toggle Fullscreen menu in the Platform. It would be very useful for the RCP apps as well

More information:
I've added a plugin for the same and using it for quite sometime. I find it very useful :-)

This would give quite a bit of addtional real estate for sure.But, I am wondering if this should be  made a part of the IDE (Window->Toggle Fullscreen).One may have an application based on IDE, where an option to switch to full screen mode maybe undesirable.IMO, it is an interesting feature, but still not a typical one for desktop applications.I have personally never used fullscreen mode except in photo viewers or for experimental purposes.

See bug 171398 where some work has been done to support full screen editing.

Prakash, how about attaching your plugin or at least the command's execution code so we can see how it works...?

Sample Plugin

This is little dumb, but serves my purpose.

Probably the "real" implementation should handle things such as adding an action in the ActionFactory, so that the RCP apps can use it along with other standard actions; handler enablement only on IWorkbenchWindows; etc

IMHO, Bug 171398#4 does have a good point about fullscreen 'editing'.

Should we mark this as a dupe or not?

The PresentationAPI has been deprecated with the Eclipse 4.x release and it has been replaced with the CSS engine. I therefore close this bugs as WONTFIX. In case your bug report is still valid for the Eclipse 4.4 release, please open a new bug report for it.
