CMD+P (Print) not working in fullscreen?

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hi,

just a short question: When I use Scrivener in fullscreen, CMD+P to print doesn’t work. Is this a bug or supposed to be that way?

Thanks a lot for your hard work, love your program!

Hi,

Many things are disabled in full screen mode. In this case, full screen is a separate window, whereas printing is always done from the main project window, so trying to print in full screen would boot you out of full screen back to the main window and print from there anyway. This is just how the Cocoa document-based application architecture works, where printing is always done from the main window. I could probably override that architecture, but to be honest, it’s never come up before, so I’ve never thought to. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the kind words!

All the best,
Keith

Hi Keith,

thanks a lot for your very fast answer. As I stay A LOT fullscreen, at least I would welcome the CMD+P print function also in this mode. If enabling this shortcut has no significant disadvantages, it would be cool if you could think about activating it sometimes in a future update. I’ll definitely survive without it, but on the other hand: If this isn’t too much programming work and doesn’t cause conflicts, I don’t see an argument AGAINST it either …

Thanks again, Scrivener really is one of the best writing softwares out there!

Hi,

Actually it’s quite a bit more complicated than you would think, just because I’d have to uproot the current code and implement a lot of things that are done automatically by Cocoa’s document structure and implement them manually, but I’ll certainly bear in mind for the future as it would be good.

Thanks again!

All the best,
Keith

I understand. Not worth it if it really is a lot of work and if I’m in the minority to use it that way - this really is a VERY minor function loss. However, would be nice anyway … :slight_smile: Thanks for considering and your great work!
