package sway-inhibit-fullscreen-git
Once upon a time, Chromium had a bug where using $mod+f in i3 to
fullscreen the Chromium window changed the window to occupy the entire
screen, but didn’t actually make Chromium enter full screen mode.
According to some, those1 were2 the3 good4

Without patches, the best we can do nowadays7 is the following
Luckily, there is a pull
request to fix this for Sway! Use the
sway-inhibit-fullscreen-gitAUR
package to install this branch.
Using this branch, you can add the following to your Sway config:

The first of these commands, fullscreen is still the usual command you
will be used to: this toggles the size of a window to occupy the full
screen. Usually, this will also change chromium to its full screen mode.
When executing the second command while the chromium window is focused,
the chromium full screen state will be completely detached from the the
Sway full screen state. Thus, after toggling the inhibit_fullscreen
state, we can now independently use $mod+f to change the size of the
chromium window, and F11 to change whether or not e.g. the tab bar is
visible. Simply do $mod+Shift+f while the window is focused to merge
the states again.
This gives two new possibilities:
- Make chromium fill the entire screen, but still show the tab bar.
- Make chromium fill only part of the screen, but don’t show the tab bar. Especially useful for watching videos on only part of the screen.
