Second Monitor full screen toggle
Apologies if this has been solved some other place, but I really couldnt find anything in the forum.
I have a two screen premiere pro setup. On the main screen I have the program and source monitor plus the timeline underneath. On the second screen I have the project window with other bits and bobs arranged around it.
Now Adobe introduced the ultra practical and awesome key full screen toggle feature. It’s perfect! Except – it toggles fullscreen on my main monitor, leaving me my project window on one screen and the fullscreen video on the other, making it impossible to scrub around or work on the timeline.
How do I get to have the tilde key to toggle fullscreen playback on my second monitor?
Granted, I can go in the preferences and choose my second display for video playback, but if you have to switch between full screen and project window like 7 times in 5 minutes, this becomes very unpractical.Is there a super simple solution to this?

The tilde key toggles full screen the pannel where you have placed your mouse. So if you have your Program monitor pannel in the same monitor than your timeline, you´ll loose your timeline when having program monitor in fullscreen view. Perhaps you need to rearrange your workspace having this in mind.

Sorry forgot to mention that I had reset my shortcuts. I switched “Shift-tilde” with “tilde. so pressing tilde now always gives me full screen program out no matter where my mouse is.
But unfortunately only on the main screen. I need this function on the second screen. -
Really? No one??

I had the same problem, but Adobe had a solution for it.
There is a Keyboard-Shortcut for this. But it is not assignt to
any button on default.You will find this function under the keybaord-shortcut panel.
It ist named: “Enable Transmit”.Just add your own shortcut, and activate your second screen.
Now you can toggle it on and off with this shortcut.PS. In german the name of the shortcut is:
“Übertragung aktivieren” -
I’m having a similar problem. Toggle Full Screen (Ctrl-tilde) only works on my laptop monitor, regardless of which Playback monitor I have checked, or whether I have Enable Transmit selected.
I think the issue has to do with the screen setup. I have my menubar on an external monitor, not on my laptop monitor. However, if I move the menubar back onto my laptop monitor, Enable Transmit works. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Toggle Full Screen (Ctrl-tilde).
Does anyone know of a way to view full screen on an external that has a menubar?

Thanks so much that option is awesome. I assigned it to f12 to toggle 2nd monitor off and on
