i cannot test how krita implemented but after having skimmed through the patch, i have the feeling that it should mostly match what scribus could do.

@eneen: can you test if krita reacts then to the system wide full screen mode? (meta-f (often) on linux or cmd-ctrl-f on mac)

Yes, under Linux it reacts same way as switching from menu.

here a first patch.

it does hide the active toolbars, the status bar and the menus.

BUT: when the menus are hidden, all shortcuts are disabled in scribus!

so:
- the team agrees in removing the dependency between the shortcuts and the menues or
- we keep the menues in full screen mode.

@eneen: can you try to apply the patch? i could not test if scribus also goes full screen... (on this computer, the full screen mode does work for firefox, but not for libreoffice... nor for the patched scribus).

Oh, I don't have build environment for Scribus... I can't help here. I've got current ubuntu 17.10 and windows 10 so I can test under both environments when I've got package.
I think toolbars and menus should stay. It should work same as Krita does: full screen mode hides top bar and os task bar (for windows and linux other then gnome) and "tab" hides menu and toolbars - it's called "show canvas" in Krita. But IMO Scribus doesn't need such mode as Krita, where you set up brushes and paint concentrating on art without need to access toolbars. We mostly do use toolbars, so that feature can be omitted I think. I don't really know why LibreOffice designers have made fullscreen mode this way. There is even workaround for toolbars here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/111138/keyboard-shortcut-to-hideshow-all-toolbars/
OT: I'm thinking about reporting bug to them...

yes, tab for hiding the palettes and toolbars would be a good idea.

would you mind writing a ticket for it?
(i could not find one...)

@eneen i've downloaded krita 3.3.0 and what i see what you describe (except that the menus are hidden and only shown when the mouse get's closer: but this might be part of the os x behavior for full screen)
... but this is not what i read in the code...
the line 687 is imo hiding the menu bar and the next one the status bar.
is this really krita code? is it in 3.3.0?

i have to look more into this... but i think i've grokked how it works and i can try to create both a full screen that

- that just sets the full screen property on the window

and a "show canvas only" (tab) command that

- hides all active palettes and windows
- hides the toolbars
- hides the rulers
- hides the status bar

for scribus.

personally, i don't think i'll ever use the full screen function, but the tab one can be very handy!

@ale sure thing, here is request for "Show canvas" mode:
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15009

Under Linux (GNOME) I use native system full screen all the time to save pixel space (you get status bar for free).
Under Windows when you have task bar on the left or right of the screen and set it to auto hide Kritas full screen disables showing it accidentally during touching screen edge with mouse cursor when you approach toolbox. You have to press winkey to activate task bar (menu).

... well i use a window manager that uses almost no screen space... :-)

Adwaita theme from GNOME is on the opposite side :)

ok, i have the full screen working!

but in a different way, by simply using showFullScreen() )http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#showFullScreen).
(and this also works on my own computer!)

now, let's do some real work on the "tab"!

by default, this feature should get the F11 key (as used in firefox; my preferred) or ctrl-shif-j (as in libreoffice).

Eneen

reporter   ~0044530

It seems rulers on/off are on F11 currently, but it also uses ctrl+shift+R.

ale

2017-10-12 14:38

manager   ~0044533

my patch is removing F11 for the "old" action (and removes the old action altogether, since it's not complete and the new Tab looks better).

i will probably upload a combined patch for tab and fullscreen, but i'm not sure about it yet, since the other one is a bit bigger and not finished yet.

Eneen

Ok. So hiding rulers alone with ctrl+shit+j will stay and current F11 is just partially implemented "hide toolbars"?
