Add a key (F11?) to toggle between fullscreen mode.

Irrlicht doesn't support this by default, but it is possible to add this. BuildAWorld has done this, and I think they releases the changes as open source.

I remember once on linux sometime back that I was able to fullscreen it. I tried again now and it didn't work, but this new computer has win8.

On linux with most WMs, you can force fullscreen. It is just a borderless window that occupies 100% of the screen. Sometimes F11 is enough, but often (if the application does not support it) you have to press the modifier key of your WM. Like alt+F11 or super+F11.

Alt + Enter would be a good choice as it is used in some media players to fullscreen video.

F11 is used by many applications to do this - it's become what you expect.

i3 FTW!

But seriously, the only real solution to this is to use whatever capabilities your window manager has. It would take a lot to make this work within the game.

No, usually that is F12, or F2, as popularized by Minecraft.

  • If it's implemented as just a borderless window that takes up the full screen instantly:
    +1 to F11 as this is what borderless "fullscreen windows" use.

  • If it's implemented as true traditional fullscreen (ie. changes resolution, causes flickering and it's slower to switch):
    please use Alt+Enter, harder to press by mistake, and also an standard shortcut for this kind of behavior.
