Eclipse Luna 4.4 fullscreen

Question

How to switch to fullscreen editor mode in Eclipse Luna 4.4? I know the ^m shortcut for maximizing current editor window, but it's not what F11 fullscreen gives in Chrome or in SublimeText.

Answer 1

Eclipse Neon (4.6)

Details in M7:

The Full Screen feature is now also available on Windows and Linux. You can toggle the mode via shortcut (Alt+F11) or menu (Window > Appearance > Toggle Full Screen).

Answer 2

I am not sure whether it works on eclipse Luna.This plugin works on eclipse kepler. Blog on this is here

Check how to hide the status bar in eclipse . Hide toolbar from Window > Hide Toolbar and check Hide Eclipse Menu Bar (auto-hide) for hiding menu bar

Answer 3

I just checked on Eclipse 4.4.2 on Windows this plugin Eclipse Full Screen Plugin (now 1.0.7) for Eclipse 3.4 and it works flawlessly :-)

Just unzip the downloaded file and copy the jar file to the plugins directory of your Eclipse. Then restart the Eclipse. Use Ctrl+Alt+Z or Window -> Full screen options to turn it on.

Answer 4

For the full screen part, I would try Eclipse Full Screen Plugin.
I'm not aware of an editor mode for eclipse, but you could just hide the toolbar, and maximize the editor window.
