Question

How to switch to fullscreen editor mode in Eclipse Luna 4.4? I know the ^m shortcut for maximizing current editor window, but it\'s not what F11 fullscreen gives in Chrome o

Answer 1

For the full screen part, I would try Eclipse Full Screen Plugin.
I'm not aware of an editor mode for eclipse, but you could just hide the toolbar, and maximize the editor window.

Answer 2

I do expect to release my 'CodeFocus' feature to the Eclipse Marketplace once we get Luna out. I showed this off at EclipseCon this year; it's a command that's provides a 'proper' full-screen mode for a given perspective. It hasn't been hacked on enough to be available in Luna directly...

Update: The 'CodeFocus' plugin can be found here: https://github.com/fredrikattebrant/CodeFocus

Answer 3

Eclipse Neon (4.6)

Details in M7:

The Full Screen feature is now also available on Windows and Linux. You can toggle the mode via shortcut (Alt+F11) or menu (Window > Appearance > Toggle Full Screen).

Answer 5

I just checked on Eclipse 4.4.2 on Windows this plugin Eclipse Full Screen Plugin (now 1.0.7) for Eclipse 3.4 and it works flawlessly :-)

Just unzip the downloaded file and copy the jar file to the plugins directory of your Eclipse. Then restart the Eclipse. Use Ctrl+Alt+Z or Window -> Full screen options to turn it on.
