in GNU Emacs on OSX, a key binding to activate Mavericks full-screen mode?

In GNU Emacs on OSX, is it possible to assign key binding stroke to activate Mavericks full-screen mode? I see that there is a function toggle-maxframe, but this merely maximizes the frame, and doesn't activate Mavericks' true full-screen mode.

Is it possible to assign a key binding to this action so I can use Emacs truly mouse-free, without having to use my mouse to click the full-screen button?

full-screen button

  • As of Emacs 24.4 (released on 2014-10-20), there is a function called toggle-frame-fullscreen that's bound to F11 by default.

    For earlier versions of Emacs, there is a little function over at EmacsWiki:

    (defun toggle-fullscreen ()
  "Toggle full screen"
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-parameter
     nil 'fullscreen
     (when (not (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)) 'fullboth)))
