Full screen preference for Q Mac

Question

I have found that having apps that I use frequently launch in Full Screen to be advantageous. Some of my favorite apps launch in Full Screen. Can Quicken engineers add a setting to have the app launch in full-screen? We have settings for some display preferences so why not Full Screen?

Just a comment on organization: I really like the controls added to the app that personalize how the various components work together. I can have my data my way and not the author's version. I have been using Quicken since the early 90's, and it has come a long way to being the perfect financial assistant for those with multiple accounts and needs. Great job.

@noahb  If you like using Full Screen, you likely already know this, but in case you don't: Pressing Function-F, like in many apps, switches Quicken to Full Screen mode. So this one keystroke upon launch will get you set up the way you prefer to work. (But I understand you're asking for the capability to do this automatically upon launch.)

(I've tried using Quicken in Full Screen mode a few times, but I find it harder to work with because I'm often opening a report or register or something else in a separate window, and navigating between multiple windows in an app in Full Screen mode feels awkward to me. My limited use of Full Screen has been in apps where I do not have multiple open windows at a time. But perhaps if I worked in Full Screen a lot more, I'd get fast at using the various key commands to navigate among windows. 😉)
