Is there a way to add ability to full screen on custom shortcut?

[ishaiMeresman]

Hi,
First of all, great work developing this. It's definitely needed.

I wanted to know if it's possible to add the ability to configure a shortcut to make the current active window full screen.
I'm not so familiar with developing for Mac OS but found this:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsview/1483780-enterfullscreenmode

I wonder if any of you can implement it as a feature,
Thanks,
Ishai

Ctrl+cmd+f is the default shortcut for this on macOS. I assume this is configurable in system prefs: keyboard: keyboard shortcuts. I’m away from my Mac so I don’t know for sure. I don’t have any plans to implement this since it’s just built in Mac behavior either way.

Quick follow up since I finally got back to my Mac. You can customize the shortcut for full screen in macOS, and I have a quick write-up that covers how to do it here:

@rxhanson I think having fullscreen shortcut on Rectangle would be really helpful.

Now after many years, on macOS Tahoe 26, Apple already provides many shortcuts related to window sizes.

Mac Built-in Shortcuts: Control + Fn
Rectangle Shortcuts: Control + Option

Fullscreen Shortcut: Control + Command + F

MacOS doesn't provide maximize shortcut (and most of its shortcuts conflict with apps like chrome/vscode..) so I am dependent on Rectangle, but anytime I want to use maximize or fullscreen shortcuts I am confused and using the wrong sequence.
I believe Rectangle should support a shortcut for fullscreen too, maybe just Control + Option + F. Otherwise I believe it's so confusing.

@rxhanson WWould you consider adding a "Fullscreen" shortcut to Rectangle?

In recent macOS versions, Apple switched the default shortcut from Ctrl+Cmd+F to Globe (Fn) + F. However, most external keyboards lack a dedicated Globe key, and remapping a key to Globe via QMK/VIA isn't easily supported (often requiring third-party tools like Karabiner-Elements). Having built-in fullscreen shortcut support in Rectangle would make window management much smoother on external keyboards.

Definetely, also Globe (Fn) + F keybinding creates problems on many apps such as VS Code, it writes the letter f and then toggles fullscreen which is unwanted.

I'll merge a pull request that adds this into the Extras button popover on the General tab.

Thank you. I would love to see ⌃⌥ F (Control + Option + F) as Fullscreen shortcut
