I am new to macOS. My goal is to automatically open any application in full screen mode achieve the same result as by ctrl + cmd + f combination. I hope it is possible to set that in system preferences.
Thanks in advice.

Seems like you can uncheck the "Close windows when quitting an application" option" under System Preference.
Starting Terminal as full screen by default

...which I always thought was the default setting anyway. I'm betting we have a red dot closer, not an app quitter ;) – Tetsujin – 2017-01-25T19:21:12.247
when I close app via cmd + Q it works but not for every application. For Chrome it does not work. Do you know why? – mike927 – 2017-01-25T21:32:26.683
Chrome pretty much ignores the standard Mac toolbox in all respects - I guess that one is just another example of "we do it our way & !%^!* you." – Tetsujin – 2017-01-26T09:35:32.727

Have you considered using something like BetterTouchTool? You can drag your windows to various corners and edges of the screen to make them full screen, half screen, quarter screen, etc. I personally use it because it's very customizable and it's easy to map shortcuts to common functions like full screen, left-half and right-halfscreen. Fwiw, it also offers the ability to customize the behavior your touchpad and mouse.

Does it allow the functionality asked for by the poster? – Tin Man – 2018-03-31T11:54:50.410
Not quite but I’m don’t think it’s possible to open an app in full screen mode automatically. – Michael Wu – 2018-03-31T12:34:55.303
If you close a window with the red dot, then the app will forget its last status. If you always remember that Cmd/Q is to quit an app, then windows will be remembered next launch, assuming you have the pref set that ljk mentions in his answer. [This also applies if you reboot the machine - apps & windows will be correctly restored if you didn't actually close them first] – Tetsujin – 2017-01-25T19:22:26.457
