"So you tell them "swipe left or right with three fingers" and then they'll know"
I hope this is not the only way to get out of full screen mode? I think it would have been the last thing I tried. And there are a lot of things you can try - "three finger swipe" is completely arbitrary, after all.
I've been using a Mac for two years now, but I never learned any gestures and I would be screwed if they became mandatory. I guess I am still stuck in the "basic Windows switcher mode".
- ugh 15y agoYou can press ESC (which, I think, is universally the standard command for exiting full screen mode), you can mouse up to the menu bar and click the full screen button or you can use the shortcut that gets you into full screen mode to exit it again. I wouldn’t bother with gestures. I would tell my parents to press ESC. They know that button and they should already be aware that it is often used to exit full screen modes.
