is there any solution to open browser in full screen mode from command line?

Question

Is there any elegant(or not) solution to open a browser in full screen mode from command line.

Browser full screen api will works only on any user action.

I just need to display a data in a big monitor without showing title bar, menu bar etc. Whether it is possible with browser without any user action.

Whether I could trigger any user action using selenium like tools.

Or anybody could tell any other alternatives to display a data in full screen mode without any user action, but with command line.

Thanks in advance.

This will switch the browser to fullscreen:

getDriver().switchTo().activeElement().sendKeys(Keys.F11);

Yeah.. it works with selenium, python and firefox webdriver. code is little different when using python but the philosophy is same. – Sony George Apr 22 '15 at 13:26

Depending on browser. If it's Chrome, just add a needed parameter to executable:

google-chrome --kiosk http://example.com

The WebDriver.Window interface has the maximize() method for setting the size of a browser window to full screen.

Example usage:

driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
