Consider removing ESC as the key for quiting fullscreen mode

[oforz]

Hello. I would like to suggest remove ESC as the key for quiting fullscreen mode, because command + control + F & command + shift + F are already two key shortcuts for doing this. ESC is easy to be typed accidently for various reasons. Any opinions? Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

No one but IT people are going to know about those shortcuts.

There is a menu item "exit full screen" under the View menu. In addition, the indicator light can also exit the full screen.

I found that the Firefox browser I was using no longer used ESC to exit the full screen.

I don't know why? Today, I can use ESC to exit the full screen again. Obviously, I couldn't do it yesterday.

Two months have passed, and this problem still exists! Isn't Mozilla going to optimize this proposal?

I personally like escape as exit fullscreen

My worry is unnecessary, it turns out that there is already a following item in about:config of Firefox: browser.fullscreen.exit_on_escape

Ending full screen by pressing the Escape key may be useful when watching e.g. YouTube videos, but it makes full screen mode in browser games practically unusable:

Most of them have some kind of options dialogs and such things, and you can close them using the Escape key or you can just press Esc multiple times to return to the main screen. But this always throws you out of full screen mode..
