The pandemic seemed like it was winding down (remember those naive days of 5 months ago?) and I decided I don't want to go back to the office, ever. Got a kid on the way, and I decided that the time I spend commuting would be better spent with my child. And my employers was making lots of whining noises that sounded like "we're never going to make this easy on you".
First, pick the right companies to apply to. Are you applying to one that 'also offers fully remote positions', or one where everyone is remote? Are remote employees first class citizens? A simple way to measure this: how high in the leadership do you have to be before you must live in a particular city (or some set of cities) to do the job? If the CEO is working from home, you know this company takes remote pretty seriously.
Edit a bit later: The reason I mention 'do they take remote seriously' is that companies that don't take remote seriously are the ones who still think in terms of 'city = salary rate'. Remote companies don't care.
In terms of CVs, no need to make it much different, imho. Maybe call out that you worked well remotely during the pandemic, and any other 'my coworkers aren't in the same physical space as me' experience.
Don't reveal your current salary during the interview process. The only salary you need to share with them is another company's competing offer.
Good luck. The market is excellent for developers right now.
