How to full screen applications in Lubuntu?

Question

I must have pressed some keys accidentally or something else and my Eclipse window got in a full screen mode. The title bar of the window and the OS task bar disappeared. Everything else is normal. I can switch between apps using Alt+Tab and get to desktop using Super+D.

I am confused is this a bug or a feature?

Can I replicate this? I kind of love the extra screen space I get in this mode.

This screenshot is not edited. It is the full screen shot showing eclipse without title bar and without Operating System task bar.

Solution

Normally, you can get out of full screen with any of this combinations:

• F11
• Ctrl + F
• Ctrl + Alt + Z (this is Eclipse exclusive)
• Alt + F11

You should test in that order to make your windows back to normal.

This list is not extensive and could be modified with the time

Try pressing F11. It usually puts things in full-screen mode.

F11 works with any application on Lubuntu.

@KshitizSharma I was ruling out the possibility of being a per-application shortcut.

And I was just confirming that your answer works. ;-)
