Answer 1

You could try the experimental FullScreen API.

• Using full-screen mode on MDN
• W3c Fullscreen Living Spec
• Browser Support

If you are not satisfied with the browser support, there is one more option: display a message to the user about how F11 switches to Fullscreen mode. Used this as a fallback option in a recent webapp I worked on, and the feedback was satisfactory.
