Description

Currently it's only possible for embedded panes to go fullscreen mode. It would be nice if floating panes can do this too.

Sometimes I need extra screen space for the floating pane, but for now I have to:

  • embed it (extra step)
  • go full screen
  • exit full screen
  • float it (extra step)

Not to mention that I lose the size and position setting for the floating pane after doing this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine Zellij's pane management code to understand how fullscreen mode is currently implemented for embedded panes, then extend it to floating panes.
