Default to fullscreen at connect or remove virtual keyboard

Hi Justin - thanks for reaching out to us with your questions!

Unfortunately it isn't possible to default to fullscreen upon connection. I did a bit of investigation to see if we could add this as a feature but it appears that most browsers don't allow fullscreen to be triggered automatically in order to prevent abuse from unscrupulous websites. I'll mention it to the team however as it's a great suggestion for an improvement if we can find a way to make it work in future.

You can disconnect the USB cable but it would result in errors in the logs and the loss of both mouse and keyboard functionality. Instead, I'd recommend selectively disabling mouse and keyboard support. You can disable keyboard support by connecting to your TinyPilot using SSH and running the following command:

sudo sed \
    --in-place \
    "s/^KEYBOARD_PATH = .*$/KEYBOARD_PATH = '\/dev\/null'/" \
    /home/tinypilot/app_settings.cfg && \
  sudo sed \
    --in-place \
    "/tinypilot_keyboard_interface/d" \
    /home/tinypilot/settings.yml && \
  echo "tinypilot_keyboard_interface: /dev/null" | \
    sudo tee --append /home/tinypilot/settings.yml && \
  sudo service tinypilot restart

You can also disable mouse support by connecting to your TinyPilot using SSH and running the following command:

sudo sed \
    --in-place \
    "s/^MOUSE_PATH = .*$/MOUSE_PATH = '\/dev\/null'/" \
    /home/tinypilot/app_settings.cfg && \
  sudo sed \
    --in-place \
    "/tinypilot_mouse_interface/d" \
    /home/tinypilot/settings.yml && \
  echo "tinypilot_mouse_interface: /dev/null" | \
    sudo tee --append /home/tinypilot/settings.yml && \
  sudo service tinypilot restart

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.
