Is there a key combination to enter and exit fullscreen view in virt-manager, while a virtual machine is running, and its window open?

Obviously I can enter or exit using mouse:

To enter: Click View > Fullscreen

To exit: Hover mouse at the top-center, and click Leave fullscreen icon.

I have tried key combinations from this AskUbuntu thread: How do I unmaximize full screen view in virt-manager? but they are not working in Ubuntu MATE 21.04. Many thanks.

OS: Ubuntu MATE 21.04

virt-manager: 1:3.2.0-3

Grab keyboard back by Ctrl_L+Alt_L and then use graphical widget on top

leave fullscreen

to switch to windowed mode.

Also see https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/issues/91 . It is bug (and bad documentation) of virt-manager, not in Ubuntu or Ubuntu MATE itself.

  • Thanks for the workaround. Let's see if the developers add proper key combination like VMware or VirtualBox, if ever. – Jags Sep 04 '21 at 20:00
