How On Earth Do I Get Out Of Full Screen Mode?

I accidently made my working window full screen and cannot figure out how to get out of it. I looked up the short cut keys but there isn't one for this. ESC does not work.  I've hit every key on my keyboard and none of them work.

    it's a drag when that happens. 

    i only know of one fix....there may be others.  but try going to window/workspace/select layout from the menu bar, and pick one. 

    if you don't have a preferred layout saved, you'll have to rewrangle things. 

    this is also useful for setting things straight on those occasions when studio decides to rearrange your tabs for some reason.

    good luck!

    Thanks!  I actually didn't even have that to work with I literally only had the scene and the camera cube.  I ended up hitting F3 and choosing default settings.  Of course, now I have to redo all of my customization.  If i'm lucky I saved the lay out but I'm usually not that smart lol

    Okay I checked just to see if it would tell me and it looks like Shift + F11.  So hopefully that will also put it back to normal.  Just in case anyone else ends up doing this.

    This happened to me today too... I accidentally clicked on the full screen mode and couldn't make it go away... After a while I just gave up and quit. Luckily when I opened Studio up again it was back to normal...  Kinda frustrating... Sorta like hitting a self destruct button.

    Yeah, glad you figured it out. F11 or some modifier plus F11 is a very common control to get to and from fullscreen. I know it from my kids playing Minecraft!

    Yep you found it...[Shift+F11] is the default accelerator (shortcut) for the Full Screen Mode action. The action is one that is toggled; press [Shift+F11] to enter Full Screen Mode, press [Shift+F11] to exit Full Screen Mode.

    I got stuck in Full Screen Mode, and Shift + F11 didn't work for me... 

    I had to use Alt + W, then use the down arrow key to navigate down to highlight the Full Screen Mode menu item, and hit ENTER.

    I just did this yesterday and couldn't get out of it either. I ended up closing and reopening Studio.

    F11 didn't work for me either but your steps sure did. I simply hit Alt + W and a menu popped up and there was a choice for Full Screen.  I clicked it and everything returned to normal.  Thanks!

    Fn + Shift + F11 worked for me! :)

    Thank you for adding the function key to the Shift+F11, that worked for me.

    Had a look at full screen mode and well not sure what the point of it is, as you can't do much other that move the camera around..
