Full Screen on KDE Wayland?

Hello all. I'd like to switch to KDE Wayland to try Waydroid on my machine, which runs Garuda KDE Gaming Edition. I've installed the plasma-wayland-session and plasma-wayland-protocalls packages and then log out and switch to KDE Wayland. However, I noticed that when I try to fullscreen an app, it doesn't do anything. I changed the layout to use the default KDE bottom bar and I try to full screen by right clicking on an app icon on that bottom bar, then going into More > Fullscreen and ticking the box. X-11 works fine. Is there a way to get fullscreen to work in Wayland?

Yes.

  • Switch your session to KDE-Wayland when you log in.
  • Open Dolphin and then press F11

For other apps, it depends. Do you have problem with all apps, or only some specific that they can’t go Fullscreen?

Before starting any troubleshooting, take a look at existing upstream bugs and possibly add info in some similar one, or create a new bug report.

Full screen doesn't work on any app I tried: Dolphin, Konsole, Chrome, FL Studio (Wine)... F11 didn't work on Dolphin either. All it did was open this little panel on the right that gave info on my current folder. I also took a gander at the bug tracker you linked and the closest thing I found was this, but it only refers to a custom resolution while mine happens to everything...

My mistake from memory with keybinding. Check in KDE shortcuts to see which is the correct one, or create/edit a custom one.
If nobody has this problem but you, maybe clean your KDE cache or try with a brand new user profile. I am not on KDE wayland right now, so I can’t confirm (or deny) anything… :person_shrugging:

Oh wow that works somehow. I keybinded F11 to Fullscreen and now everything can be full screen with the shortcut. Thanks!
