How to get out of fullscreen mode?

Question

I was stuck in Geany in fullscreen mode and unable to get out. All the suggestions I found on websites were too complicated (for me). I finally discovered that by depressing the ALT key and the V key, the view menu opens and I was able to uncheck fullscreen mode. Problem solved.

This appears to be the way one sees menus while in fullscreen mode: ALT + , e.g., File Edit View etc.

Pressing Keys F11 toggles Geany full screen mode.

CTRL+Q would kill Geany (completely close and exit). And if you start it back it will start in full screen mode. Pressing F11 will do the trik. – Mitch Dec 03 '13 at 06:32

Ctrl+Shift+f worked for me.

This helped me on a guest Ubuntu running with VMware on a mac host.

I changed the line fullscreen=true in file ~/.config/geany/geany.conf to fullscreen=false.

I run Ubuntu on VirtualBox and tried the above tricks and it didn't worked out on windows 8.1.
What I did to exit command line full screen was :

Right click on the terminal
select Leave Full Screen

And I got the normal screen again.

For me it was Ctrl+F but it had to be the right Ctrl button.
