Maximise Screen Shortcut Doesn't Work

Haven't used PP for a couple of months, and one of my main "getting set up" shortcuts is gone.  It was the backtick ` which would make the window go full screen.

windows key and up doesn't work on the second and 3rd screens, and it would also hide the title bar and menu bar, giving me more real estate...

I have searched the commands and shortcuts and can't find this anywhere, has it been removed?  If so why?

Also ~ to make a single panel full screen doesn't work anymore 😞

Correct answer Ann Bens

Sorry, not that one either.  It was the one that made it go from this:

Makes a big difference when the 2+ monitors don't have the maximise capability....


Try ctrl+\

Anyone have anything on this?  It's very frustrating.

Do a search in the KBSC for Maximize to find all different ways of maximazing a panel. This is a great way to find/map shortcuts by name rather than by their old shortcuts.

It's not there, that was the first thing I tried.

The one called "toggle maximize monitor" just makes the program panel maximize.

The shortcut that used to work still does work, however it moves the second and 3rd monitor panel "sets" to the first monitor.  So it basically now does "max to monitor 1".  It's not quite the same as maximise though, as it removes all the menu bar and extra bevelling etc to really make the most of all real estate.  However this keyboard shortcut does NOT show up in the settings at all....

If you are not on a usa keyboard, you need to go into the KBSC and remap.

Why, it used to work?

Anyway, so I found apostrophe is toggle full screen for the panel, however the main one I want is to full screen the entire application.

I found that ctrl + alt  + \ does this, however if you do it on the panels on monitor 2, it moves them to monitor 1.

I use 3 screens, and used to be able to maximise them all.  Now I can only maximise screen 1.

This is not the first time that we've found an update has really regressed features.

What's the way now to get each monitor full screen?

So the 'shortcut' in the thread title is not the issue, either are shortcuts at all correct?

Thus you may want another thread, as this one is badly named and the real issue is multiple monitors.
