Environment

  • Claude Code desktop app on macOS (Darwin 25.5, Apple Silicon)

What happens

Pressing Ctrl+Cmd+F — the standard macOS fullscreen toggle — does nothing. The app never enters fullscreen from the keyboard.

Expected

Electron's default application menu ships the togglefullscreen role, so effectively every Electron app on macOS responds to Ctrl+Cmd+F out of the box. Claude Code's custom menu appears to omit this role (or the BrowserWindow is created with fullscreenable: false), which breaks a platform-wide convention and keyboard muscle memory.

Suggested fix

Add { role: 'togglefullscreen' } to the app's View/Window menu template — one line, restores the system shortcut and the menu item.

#83267 asks for the same capability from the Windows side (F11). Filing the macOS case separately since here it is a regression against the platform default rather than a new feature.
