Autocomplete window does not appear in fullscreen applications

cannot work well in full screen iterm2

Waiting for more info. If this is happening to you, please let us know if you use any windowing tools (eg. magnet, amethyst) and any other relevant info. Multiple monitors? Quake mode?

I just installed fig and had a similar issue: The Fig overlays disappear once Terminal.app is in fullscreen mode. Unfortunately fullscreen is how I use the terminal every day.

I have figured out what's going on here. If you've launched run fig and have this window open, the activation policy of the app changes. This prevents the autocomplete window from appearing over full-screen applications.

When I use my terminal (in my case embedded terminal in Jetbrain phpstorm editor) in fullscreen, the 'autocomplete' window does not show, but when I quickly change spaces I see it popping up on the non fullscreen space :D

Yeah, this is super reproducible. It is just tricky to resolve now that we want Fig to occasionally appear in the dock and behave like a normal application. This is a weird quirk of Apple's APIs.

It's worth noting that Raycast also has the same problem, if you open the raycast settings it no longer displays over fullscreen apps. Nevermind! Raycast now closes the settings window if you open it over a fullscreen app - this must have changed in the update a couple days ago.

Is there a way to detect if the current app is fullscreened? Could possibly show it as a check in fig doctor, since as of right now this is the expected (although not desired) behavior

As a workaround, I think I may close the Fig window if the user changes workspaces. Might be a little weird but still better than current behavior.

That's a good solution I think. Realistically if the Fig window is open and they've changed workspaces, they've probably forgotten that it was even open anyway.

This is fixed in the latest version of Fig! You can update by running fig update in your terminal :)

For me Autocompletion still doesn't work on VSCODE terminal, when VSCODE in fullscreen mode.

• fig 2.7.5,
• OS: 13.0 (22A380)

Same problem for same config... the fig window is behind the VSCode in fullscreen... therefore you cannot see it!

[clo4]

Hmm... I can reproduce. Same setup too. Issue definitely not fully solved...

[clo4]

Actually, going to close this issue to keep count down. Will merge with #1964 🙂

Facing the described behavior on:

• fig_cli 2.14.0-beta.7
• macOS 13.2 (22D49)
