Most programs can work in two modes: full screen and windowed. The change in mode is determined by the nature of the tasks being performed: it is better to work with graphics in full screen, while windowed mode is enough for office applications.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to change window mode is by pressing the Ctrl + Enter key combination. Most often, this method is used in standard window applications, as well as in video players (Kmplayer, Media Player Classic, etc.). Pressing these keys again returns the program window to its original position.
Step 2
Another, no less simple, way is to press the special buttons of the window title. Look at your internet browser window and you will see three small buttons on the right side of the window title. The middle button is an open window control, click it to change the window state.
Step 3
Because any operating system from the Windows family is built in such a way that a certain operation can be performed in several ways, therefore, there are several more options for controlling window mode. Right-click on the window title and select Expand / Restore (depending on the task).
Step 4
For any application, there are a number of hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts for navigating without using a computer mouse. To do this, set focus to the desired window using the alt="Image" + Tab keys. Press alt="Image" + "Space" and select "Expand / Restore".
Step 5
All of the above methods are not always convenient and work correctly. For example, if you want to set the windowed mode for only one program, it is recommended to assign this option in the program settings. By default, for most programs, the "Settings" item is located in one of the top menus. Often they are called by the Ctrl + P keyboard shortcut, this rule works only for utilities that do not print information, because for text and image editors, these keys indicate the printing of a document.
