Description of the new feature/enhancement

A lot of windows applications use F11 to go fullscreen. Try it on your browser, it will probably work. In many cases, I just want to use a single terminal tab in full screen, so I can run tmux inside it. Being able to go fullscreen gives me just a bit more screen area that is really helpful.

I saw #2577, but that only involves opening full screen on startup. This was merged into #1043 which is setting an initial position for the terminal, but that doesn't really encompass having a button to open a window in fullscreen.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

The user should be able to press F11 and the current tab will go fullscreen. If F11 is taken, CTRL+F11 or CTRL+SHIFT+F11 is a good pattern to use because it aligns with the opening and closing of tabs shortcuts. Also, ALT+ENTER would be a good key combination because it works on both CMD and Powershell. F11 only works on CMD

You're probably talking about the feature that merged with #3408 ... so this is a /dupe of #531, #3411
