Control + F11 I believe

It's f11, this clashes with Expose on Macosx so I remap that to use Apple-F11 etc

Full screen mode is cool. It makes me feel like I'm flying a jet aero-plane.

it makes me feel like I'm using a dedicated piece of hardware rather than a laptop. Cool.

Totally. But come to think of it, I can never stay in full screen mode too long. I usually need to access a menu after a short while. It'd be better if the menus were accessible somehow from full screen mode. That way I could pretend to be a submarine captain for longer periods of time.

When I'm in arrange view and like 5 plus minutes into a track I close the browser, the clip view and hit f11

I'm on a 15 inch flat monitor so real estate is very important to me when I'm trying to finalize the deal

f 11 dawg, f 11

Yeah, it's nice and I wish moer software did this. Definitely makes it feel less like software and more like a dedicated box.

With XP.

I have a dual monitor setup + double desktop.

Double Desktop - Double Your Deskspace

I then use xplorer2. I have pretty much said goodbye to explorer.

Xplorer2 - Windows File Manager (explorer replacement)

When I boot up. I open Xplorer2 and then completely shutdown explorer. I then open live from xplorer2 on my second desktop.

I then use ESC to toggle between Live in full screen on one desktop set and xplorer2 on my second desktop set. I love it.

Just use ctrl + F11 on os x. That should work fine.

I'm so used to using a modifier for expose I prefer it now.
