Full Screen New Desktop

Hi linguiny,

Unfortunately, Mac window management has quite a lot to learn from Windows (especially window snapping).

To fullscreen an app without launching a new virtual desktop, hold down the Option key and mouse over the green button in the top left corner. A zoom option should then appear, which should fullscreen the window for you.

Or, just get an app to do it for you. Magnet is frequently used.

Thanks for the response! I know how to full screen. The issue is after you full screen, it creates a new desktop. I dont want that.

Hmmm... never heard this before.

Try a safe boot login and test. reboot as normal and test.

If it is a glitch it will clear system cache files...

Does anyone know how to go into fullscreen mode without creating a new desktop? It's troublesome to scroll to the left and have that extra desktop there for no reason.

Full Screen for applications use the green pill button in the upper left in the app window or use the drop down menu.
