A handy tip for seeing the notebook full width

Welcome How to use the FUN Platform

EDIT this works, but is outdated information, see the next post - thanks @glemaitre58 - for how to do this properly

If you feel like the course index on the left hand side is too much in your way, you can do this

  • go to the javascript console - the way to reach that depends on your browser, you may have to look it up, but on chrome/mac for example you can do this by typing ⌘⌥i
  • in the console, type $(".course-index").toggle()
  • type ⌘⌥i again to get rid of the console

You might want to use the top right red button (with diagonal arrows) to use full-screen notebooks:

a follow-up on this topic - a very little thing indeed, but in case it helps out other people:

what I found myself doing a lot is this
. I click on the red button to expand the notebook
. and then I immediately press ‘Shift-Enter’ to run the current cell
. and then the notebook unexpectedly shrinks back to its initial embedded layout

it took me a while to realize that right after I click, the focus remains on the red button, ans that’s why I get this behaviour

again that’s no big deal, I just had to use myself to clicking in the notebook

however it might be simple enough to tweak the code so that the focus goes to the notebook after a button click, which would smoothen this out a little

hope this helps

@brospars maybe you could deploy a fix for this usability issue?

Done ! I set the focus on the iframe when entering fullscreen.

awesome ! a thousand thanks :slight_smile:

if you get a chance, please do the same for when the button is clicked again to get out of full-screen mode :wink: but that’s completely 2nd order of course :upside_down_face:
