Launch Chrome in Full Screen Mode From Keyword Test

I though this would have been covered before but couldn't find it via search. How can Chrome be launched full screen via a keyword without having to press F11? I found this article which explains how to pass paramters but can figure out how to launch in full screen mode. I've found articles indicating --kiosk and --start-fullscreen but neither seem to work.

    --start-fullscreen works for me with Chrome 46 on Windows 7. Make sure Chrome is closed before you launch it with --start-fullscreen.

    If you use VBScript, the code snippet must be wrapped into Execute:

    Execute("Browsers.Item(btChrome).RunOptions = ""--start-fullscreen""")
