Exclusive Fullscreen Mode

What is Exclusive Fullscreen Mode?

Overview

Exclusive Fullscreen Mode is available in the Luna Secondary App for macOS version 5.1 or newer. It gives you more control over how your secondary Mac behaves when being used as an extended display with Luna Display.

When enabled, this mode disables multitasking gestures and keyboard commands like Command + Tab, app switching, and trackpad gestures on the secondary Mac. This can help prevent accidental app switching or interruptions during use.

How it works

  • With Exclusive Fullscreen Mode enabled: Your secondary keyboard and mouse will not allow you to switch between Luna Display and other apps on your secondary Mac.
    • Best for: Users who only need the secondary Mac as a display and don't need to access files or apps on it.
  • With Exclusive Fullscreen Mode disabled: You can switch between Luna and other apps using Command + Tab, and gestures like three-finger swipes on the trackpad will still work.
    • Best for: Users who need to multitask or access their secondary Mac’s desktop and files while using Luna.

How to change Exclusive Fullscreen Mode settings

  • Make sure the Luna Display app is closed on your primary Mac.
  • On your secondary Mac, open the Luna Secondary app.
  • Click the Luna Display menu in the top-left corner and select Preferences/Settings.

Luna Preferences menu

  • Check or uncheck the box for Exclusive Fullscreen Mode.

Toggle Exclusive Fullscreen Mode

  • Restart the Luna Secondary app to apply the changes.
  • If Exclusive Fullscreen Mode is disabled, press Command + Tab on your secondary Mac’s keyboard to return to macOS and access your desktop. To return to using Luna as normal, press Command + Tab on your secondary Mac's keyboard once again to switch back.
