True fullscreen mode for webkit
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Add an option to alt-click fullwindow button and go to webkit fullscreenmode (no custom controls are allowed in fullscreen mode, and subtitles thus won't work either of course).

The action itself is simple:
if( <video>.webkitSupportsFullscreen == true) <video>.webkitEnterFullscreen()

I think its a little premature to add this feature, I just downloaded a nightly build of chrome and was unable to successfully invoke the full-screen.

Furthermore if it requires the user to hold down a special key ( alt ) I would prefer if the user just press the "f11" button then they would get "fullscreen" with the associated timed text and video controls.

[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html .
Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest".
For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will
not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
