How to get rid of Enter Full Screen menu item?


In my Mac OS X app I deleted all default menu items, added my own.

But in View menu at the bottom I can still see Enter Full Screen menu item, whilst in storyboard there is no such menu item.

I've tried to delete the entire View menu, but now it migrated to Window menu. Even though it's disabled, I would still like to get rid of it entirely if possible.


Solution

  • The release notes for AppKit for 10.11 suggest you can use the NSUserDefault NSFullScreenMenuItemEverywhere.

    Full Screen Menu Item

    AppKit automatically creates an "Enter Full Screen" menu item after the application finishes launching if an equivalent menu item isn't found. If this menu item should not be created for your app, before NSApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification is sent you may set the NSFullScreenMenuItemEverywhere default to NO.

    - (void)applicationWillFinishLaunching:(nonnull NSNotification *)notification {
        [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:NO forKey:@"NSFullScreenMenuItemEverywhere"];
    }
