- Hi Rebecca, full screen display is not a Gmail feature, it's a feature of the browser you are using. I don't know what the keys are for Safari, but Chrome and Firefox use F11 to toggle full screen on and off. If F11 doesn't work in Safari, check the Apple support site.
- Going into “full-screen” mode on my apps causes my second display to go black. It just started doing this today after I did a restart. I am using a new 27-inch iMac running El Capitan.
