AppleScript to launch Chrome in Presentation mode (Fullscreen)

ChromeFullscreen.applescript

# url.txt should contain the URL load in Chrome in full screen.

do shell script "open '/Applications/Google Chrome.app' " & readFile("/url.txt")
tell application "Google Chrome" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "f" using {command down, shift down}
end tell

# All this just to read a file; no backticks in AppleScript.
on readFile(unixPath)
	set foo to (open for access (POSIX file unixPath))
	set txt to (read foo for (get eof foo) as Çclass utf8È)
	close access foo
	return txt
end readFile

On line 12, "class utf8" should be enclosed in Guillemets, which ironically are not represented in UTF-8 in the AppleScript Editor.

They seem to have made this the default behavior.

nice one, thanks.. i just took this bit:

tell application "Google Chrome Canary" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "f" using {command down, shift down}
end tell

It seems that Presentation Mode has been removed from Chrome...

@iPadGuy nope. Still here. CMD+SHIFT+F on Mac.

Yep, presentation mode has been removed on their latest update. I suspect @iPadGuy was using chromium and saw it earlier. It appears you need to make sure "Hide Toolbar in Full Screen" is checked and then go fullscreen with

keystroke "f" using {control down, command down}
