Keyboard shortcut to toggle a dialog to fullscreen & how to get googles "cached content" back ?

Hello all,

Two questions:

Does anyone know if there is a shortcut key to toggle a dialog window to
fullscreen and back ? I know its ALT-ENTER for a console window (using it
often enough :-) ), but a quick google doesn't show the same for
run-of-the-mill dialogs (clicking the button in the upper-right works by the
way).

In relation to Google: Since a few days now I get search results back in a
smartphone-friendly way (I'm on a desktop puter), but without any "cached
content" links - which I find rather handy. Does anyone have an idea how
to get the old-style (including those cached links) back ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

If the window/box/whatever _can_ run full-screen, alt-space then X (use
your left hand) to maximise, Alt-space then Enter to restore. This uses
the little sub-menu that's been part of Windows (though moved around
from time to time) since Windows 3.1, but a lot of people don't know it!

Sorry, no. A thought: if you're using Firefox, do you have sync enabled?
I'm guessing you might have set a setting on your 'phone which sync has
helpfully caused to transfer to all your devices. (I don't know if
Chrome or other browsers have something like Sync. I've never turned on
Sync - the convenience of sharing [mainly] bookmarks doesn't seem worth
the risk of Something Wrong being helpfully copied to all my devices.)

John,

Grumble, grumble.

I've been implementing an ALT-ENTER for the dialog, and am actually
intercepting the WM_MENUCHAR event for it. during testing I /ofcourse/ saw
that menu (which I was/am aware of - in the back of my mind) pop up a number
of times. Didn't bother to actually /look/ at it as my focus was
elsewhere.

How's that for creating complex solutions while being oblivious for whats
directly infront of you ? :-( :-)

Yes I am, but no I haven't. Its one of the first things after installing I
try to get rid of. No phone I would want that 'puter to be linked with.

I also forgot to mention that at some point I could, when I got that
smartphone-friendly display, get the old style back by closing the browser,
opening it and doing another google. That stopped a day or two later.

I've did take a peek at the URL's arguments, but did not find anything which
gouverns this behaviour. I'm currently assuming that its a switch-over to
a new format, like the localized search-results you now always get (and on
that 'puter I seldom have any use for).
