What problem are you trying to solve?

Web applications might want to enter fullscreen without transient activation, to implement advanced windowing capabilities. For example, a virtual desktop client might automatically extend a fullscreen session onto a newly connected display, or make content fullscreen on two displays at once.

What solutions exist today?

There is no adequate solution today, but some capabilities are pertinent:

How would you solve it?

Extend step #5 of the Element.requestFullscreen() algorithm to accommodate user agent configurations that permit fullscreen requests without transient activation. See this Explainer for more detail.

Anything else?

This compliments #161
