I spent some time trying to diagnose the issue but was unable to. The proximate cause is that, when Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F is pressed, Windows sends the TurboVNC Viewer application a WM_KEYUP event but not an associated WM_KEYDOWN event for the 'F' key. Thus, the Win32 TranslateAccelerator() function does not detect the hotkey. In other words, the operating system is swallowing the key press for the 'F' key whenever Ctrl-Alt-Shift is pressed. I googled around but could not find any documentation indicating why that might be occurring, although it does appear that others are having the same problem: https://superuser.com/questions/1445551/what-does-ctrlaltshiftf-key-combination-in-windows-10-pro-version-1903
I also could not find any documentation indicating why Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F is reserved, nor does that hotkey have any visible effect when pressed. My gut says that there is probably some new O/S feature that is monitoring that hotkey, and if so, it should be possible to disable that feature or change its hotkey. Otherwise, I have no ideas other than the features I proposed in the previous message, which I am unwilling to implement without funding. I also have no idea why you can't make Alt-Enter work, since it works for me. Using Alt-Enter would be the preferred workaround for this. I would consider adding a new hotkey to toggle full-screen mode, but: (a) I first need to understand whether it's possible to work around this issue at the O/S level (for instance, by changing or disabling a particular feature.) (b) The Alt-Enter feature already does that, and given that that feature already works fine for me, I am disinclined to add yet another full-screen hotkey. I'm sorry, but that's the limit of what I can do for free at the moment. If you discover any new information that might be helpful, please follow up.
