[Coco] Launching VCC in maximized mode using Win 10

[Bill Pierce]

Henry, the only problem with F11 is that you will lose access to the menu bar. The only way to get it back is to hit F11 again to return to windowed mode (which is a pain when swapping out floppy disk images and such).

F11 did work from the GUI.    I was hoping to achieve a 'full screen ' without using the keyboard. I am now trying to map a spare button to act as f11

This does not answer your question directly, but does your gui/program give access to the equivalent
of the Windows F11 key? With Windows and regardless of screen size, F11 makes VCC use the full
screen. F10 will turn off the data line at the top of the screen.
