Question

Hello people. I work with AE fullscreen, using ctrl+\ shortcut. If my Preview is not fullscreen, the interface keeps on fullscreen BUT if my Preview is fullscreen, at the end of the preview AE exits from fullscreen.

I work with AE fullscreen, using ctrl+\ shortcut. I want a Preview of my comp and hit Spacebar.

If my Preview is not set to fullscreen, the interface of AE stays as it is (fullscreen) and so it is with the zoom in my comp. 

If my Preview is set to fullscreen, at the end of the preview AE exits from fullscreen and I find the entire comp, not zoomed anymore. 

It’s annoying after every fullscreen Preview putting all the things back... If you multiply it many many times, it’s a stressing waste of time.

Thanks for your help!

Lorenzo

      You may want to see if the Tilde/Grav  ~` key works more to your liking. hover you mouse over the panel that you’d like to expand and hit the key directly above the left Tab key.

        thank you. 2 problems here: 1- the italian keyboard hasn’t the tilde and I can’t find any shortcut to have it but Alt + 126 😂  2- Essentially I am searching something that prevents AE to exit fullscreen mode when the “Fullscreen Preview” ends.
