ChromeDriver in Fullscreen Mode

Question

I am trying to send F11 to ChromeDriver, however it does not respond to it. When I press F11, it turns Chrome into fullscreen mode. When I send F11 through ChromeDriver, it does not. This is the same for any F-key in ChromeDriver. It works fine with FirefoxDriver and IEDriver, just not ChromeDriver. Is there any way I could get ChromeDriver into fullscreen mode ?

Note : Fullscreen mode is different from maximized mode, as it hides all toolbars.

Answer 1

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--start-fullscreen");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

if you use RemoteWebDriver:

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--start-fullscreen");
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
    capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
    Instance = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(<SeleniumServerURL>), capabilities);

Answer 2

I was able to solve it using kiosk mode, which keeps the browser in full screen

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--kiosk");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Answer 3

The argument is changed:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");

Another option is change the startup script of google-chrome, set start-maximized as default.
