As the title says: Conhost (V2 only?) has a legacy-style fullscreen mode, and with the recent ability to theme the scrollbars, this gives a pleasant clutter-free terminal experience. I'd like to see this with windows terminal also.

    i'd be wary of binding it to something like Ctrl-Enter. there are applications (like Emacs) that users expect to be able to use modifiers with the Enter key.

    of course, if there were generic keybindings settings, then it'd be somewhat of a moot issue as people could rebind however they liked.

    Hey wadda ya know, we do plan on having all the keybindings configurable! So no need to worry about that :)

    Borderless window or real exclusive mode like games?

    Alt-Enter for full-screen borderless dates back to the earliest days of Windows, and it transferred into GDI games (duke nukem, rise of the triad, ...) and then into games under every subsequent windows rendering API. Eventually we got full-screen exclusive as an performance booster for early, primitive 3d cards, and it stayed that way, but now that there's zero to negligible difference, it's actually more common again today for game developers to default to alt-enter taking you into full-screen borderless rather than exclusive, unless they're using generic defaults for certain game engines.

    Alt-Enter is what the built-in cmd/powershell console uses, both the new versions and versions of windows going all the way back to 95.

    To expand on what Oliver Smith (@kfsone) said, Alt-Enter is used by wsltty which is a great Terminal for WSL.
