Since a recent version upgrade, Intelli/J now starts in full-screen mode. This is fine on OS-X, because the menu auto-appears. But it's rubbish on Ubuntu because the menus are hidden and do not auto-appear.
I can manually drop out of full-screen (ctrl-shift-A then type 'full' then change the option), but it's annoying to have to do this every time I start Intelli/J.
How can I change the startup settings so that full-screen is not enabled by default?
Toggle viewing modes Use the quick switcher: Go to View | Quick Switch Scheme (or press Ctrl+` ). In the Switch popup, select View Mode and then select Enter <viewing mode> or Exit <viewing mode>.
Using the F11 key on your computer's keyboard will let you both enter and exit full-screen mode in many applications. If you use a laptop, you might need to press Fn + F11 to activate this keyboard shortcut.
Back up your settings and restore the defaultsFrom the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings. Alternatively, press Shift twice and type Restore default settings . Click Restore and Restart. The IDE will be restarted with the default configuration.
Use the quick switcher Press Ctrl+` to execute the View | Quick Switch Scheme action. In the Switch popup, select Theme, and then select the required interface theme.
