on chromebooks there isn't f11 key so it would be nice to be able to change the full screen hotkey.

also just changing to hotkey to f11 instead of alt+f11 would be great as a chromebook user I do map the f4 key to the same keysym of f11 (so I can use it to toggle fullscreen mode in chromium and other apps), but I'm keeping the alt+f4 mod so I can close windows so I can't map alt+f4 to alt+f11.

I don't really like the idea of making shortcuts customisable as it would clutter the (already complex) interface. But maybe finding a better default might be a good idea. Anyway as a short term solution you can change it in the code yourself, it's pretty easy. Just open app/qml/main.qml find the fullscreenAction and pick the one you prefer:

Action {
id: fullscreenAction
text: qsTr("Fullscreen")
enabled: Qt.platform.os !== "osx"
shortcut: "F11" // Was previously "Alt+F11"
onTriggered: appSettings.fullscreen = !appSettings.fullscreen;
checkable: true
checked: appSettings.fullscreen
}

@Swordfish90

Thanks for responding.
Maybe don't add this setting to the interface but allow to change via a config file?

Yes, it's pretty easy changing this in the code, I already got to it myself but it would be nice not having to patch the app every update.

@dhead666 I agree. Maybe a small config file (which the majority of users won't see) might be the best solution.
