Steps to Exit Full Screen on macOS Monterey?
Full-screen mode is very handy if you want to work on something without any disturbance from other notifications. It also can be used to capture a window or page. However, if you are looking to exit the full screen on your macOS Monterey, then you can easily do that by following this simple workaround:
- Navigate your cursor towards the “Green” button.
- In the drop-down menu that appeared on the screen select “Exit Full Screen”.
You can also turn off full screen from your keyboard by pressing “Fn+F” if you using macOS Monterey or later versions. You can also exit the full-screen mode by clicking on the “View” option and then selecting “Exit Full Screen”.
You can also use split-screen view to exit full-screen on your Mac by swiping up with three or four fingers on your Trackpad to enter Mission Control and then selecting the tab and drag it to the tab opened in full-screen mode. This will make the full-screen window shrink to half the size and the other half will be used by the window you recently opened. You can also press the “Esc” key on your keyboard to exit full-screen mode in some apps.
