What's Wrong?
Bug Description
The standard macOS fullscreen keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + Command (⌘) + F does not work
in the Claude desktop app, while it works in all other macOS apps (including similar Electron-based apps like NotebookLM).
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude desktop app on macOS
- Press ⌃⌘F (Control + Command + F)
- Nothing happens
Expected Behavior
The app should toggle fullscreen mode, as per standard macOS behavior.
Actual Behavior
No response. The shortcut is completely ignored.
Root Cause (suspected)
The Electron app does not register "Enter Full Screen" in its application menu
with the standard macOS keyboard shortcut (⌃⌘F).
Other Electron apps that work correctly (e.g. NotebookLM) register this properly.
Fix: Add the following to the app menu's View section:
{ role: 'togglefullscreen' }
Environment
- macOS (Sequoia / 25.3.0)
- Claude Desktop App
What Should Happen?
초초록색 (전체 화면 전환): Control (⌃) + Command (⌘) + F (현재 창을 전체 화면 모드로 키우거나, 다시 원래 크기로 되돌립니다)
