Is there a way to maximise the current tab in Visual Studio?

I sometimes need to use Visual Studio when I have limited screen real estate (remote desktopping from a laptop for example). It would be really useful to be able to make the currently selected code tab maximise to take the whole screen for a limited time. Is that possible?

Is there a keyboard shortcut? Visual-studio visual-studio-2008 ide fullscreen link|improve this question asked Oct 4 '08 at 19:10serg105,56431840 83% accept rate.

It works perfectly! Thanks very much. – serg10 Oct 4 '08 at 19:16 No problem at all :) – JTA Oct 4 '08 at 19:20 holy crap, this is the best thing ever.

I use Shift-Alt-Enter to activate full screen mode.

JAtkison just beat you I guess, but thanks very much anyway. – serg10 Oct 4 '08 at 19:16.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
