This works fine for browsers, terminals, but afaik the OSX builds of emacs don't ship with a fullscreen mode; so you just do M-x server-start, and in a fullscreened terminal run /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -nw
- julian37 14y agoA week ago I finally got myself to patch my Emacs (24.1.1) using the procedure described here: http://www.sanityinc.com/full-screen-support-for-cocoa-emacs-on-osx http://www.sanityinc.com/full-screen-support-for-cocoa-emacs... Although that post (and the patch) is a bit dated, it worked fine for me (one hunk didn't apply cleanly but after reviewing it I decided it's obsolete, so I just ignored it.) The result is just what I expected, I can't believe I waited that long before giving it a try. Highly recommended, if like me you prefer native Emacs over one running in a terminal. (Somehow it even manages to avoid that annoying full-screen animation which so far I didn't manage to completely turn off for iTerm.)
- leif 14y agoThere is a working patch somewhere out there that adds lion fullscreen support to emacs.
- bazzargh 14y agoYes - in fact there are several. You can even do it with external apps (http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html). But meh, this ancient macbook runs hot if you even ask it to show a flash video, I'm not going to set it on fire by asking it to compile emacs or run more stuff.
