uh hello guys welcome to this video So
0:02
in this video I will show you a very
0:04
good feature inside VS code which is uh
0:07
toggling full screen mode So by default
0:10
uh whenever you work inside VS code to
0:12
actually program you will see this menu
0:15
by default this menu exist It actually
0:20
uh displays and uh but inside full
0:23
screen mode let me show you first of all
0:25
how to toggle this full screen mode So
0:27
there are two options by which you can
0:29
do this The first option is you open
0:32
command pallet by hitting the shortcut
0:34
key which is control
0:37
shiftp and on windows and uh then here
0:42
just typing here
0:44
toggle full screen So you will see this
0:48
option will come and the shortcut key
0:51
for this is F11 So if you want the
0:54
shortcut key you can hit F11 key or you
0:58
can go to command pallet So these are
1:00
the two ways by which you can toggle
1:01
full screen So as soon as I toggle this
1:03
you will see now this is actually the
1:05
full screen mode Inside full screen mode
1:07
you will see the menu items are not
1:09
showing They are hidden So it is making
1:13
sure that uh as much space of your
1:16
coding uh editor is showing right here
1:20
And once again if I want to disable it
1:24
there are two options again you can open
1:26
command pallet and just
1:29
again entering this it will
1:32
disable the full screen mode inside VS
1:35
code or now you can save time by hitting
1:39
the shortcut key on Windows which is F11
1:42
This will enter into the full screen
1:44
mode Again if you press it will disable
1:46
it So in this way you can toggle full
1:49
screen mode inside VS code So I really
1:53
use this mode because uh full screen
1:56
mode actually hides all the unnecessary
1:58
stuff and just whenever you are coding
2:01
inside VS code you need to focus So this
2:04
full screen mode is a very good feature
2:07
Basically it hides all the unnecessary
2:10
stuff and you can hit the F11 key on
2:13
Windows and the full screen mode will
2:16
depend uh differently on different
2:19
operating systems So if you are working
2:20
on a Mac Linux or Windows the full
2:24
screen mode will be slightly
2:26
different But you will see it also hides
2:28
these uh uh status bar where I can see
2:32
my Windows icons if I am not inside the
2:35
full screen mode But if I again press
2:39
F11 you will see all
2:41
the bottom things are also hidden So you
2:45
are not seeing the unnecessary stuff and
2:48
also the menu item is also disabled So
2:50
in this way guys you can enable full
2:53
screen mode and toggle it by the
2:55
shortcut key F11 on Windows I also
2:58
showed you the second way which is
2:59
command pallet just view toggle full
