How can I get iTerm out of fullscreen mode?

Question

I must have hit some keystrokes which got me stuck in full screen mode and there are no resize icons when you hover mouse at top of screen even though the task bar shows up. How do I get out of full screen without restarting iTerm?

It really is truly annoying as there's no UI elements to bring your out of full screen. Good question! — dustbuster, Jan 13 '23 at 20:15
Ya know. I take back that comment, I actually use the Command enter all day long now. — dustbuster, May 09 '23 at 18:20
Related, there's no menu option to disable CMD+ENTER, but you can add a new key binding to ignore it: https://superuser.com/questions/600573/disable-cmdenter-on-iterm-2 — Carl Walsh, Aug 11 '23 at 18:44

This was probably how I got stuck there in the first place. You can toggle full screen mode with the ⌘ Command⏎ Enter keyboard shortcut.

@Allan thanks for the edit, how do I add those doodads? – lacostenycoder Feb 14 '19 at 18:03

There's a limited subset of HTML tags allowed on StackExchange In this case, you can encode your key within the tag. As for the "places mark" (the clover) and the Enter key symbol, press Control-Command-Space to bring up the "characters selector", search for them and insert as needed. I suggest adding the ones you use most to your favorites. – Allan Feb 14 '19 at 18:09

alternatively, set the whole string as a replacement in keyboard/text. I use simply ksomething, so kcmd generates <kbd> Cmd ⌘ </kbd> etc – Tetsujin Feb 15 '19 at 07:48
Sweet nectar! For some reason the little green button is not showing up – dustbuster Dec 16 '22 at 20:07
@dustbuster which green button? – lacostenycoder Dec 16 '22 at 21:49

Ya know. When you full screen and app on MacOs it gives you a red (close) yellow (minimize) and green (fullscreen toggle) buttons on the top left corner, those don’t seem to show up any more for iterm after it’s been fullscreened – dustbuster Dec 17 '22 at 22:18
