Feature request: ability to hide address bar and tab strip |
|||
Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: N/A What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? A few years ago, there was an option to hide the address bar and tab strip. Most people use computers in landscape mode, and on smaller screens, these two bars can take up a lot of vertical space. When using applications like Google Docs, the toolbars on the screen take up even more vertical space. Since there isn't much room left on the computer screen, it becomes more difficult to use the app. On laptops 13 in and smaller, having this feature would have a significant impact. Did this work before? Yes Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.13.3 Flash Version:

I thought this was just fullscreen mode, which we have had and still have. I'm not aware of a different "option to hide" these.

Agree with Peter that there is "fullscreen mode" which hides the omnibox, toolbar, tab strip, etc. On some machines this is toggeld with the F11 key; on Mac it might be under the menu: View → Enter Full Screen (⌃⌘F) [ctrl-command-f] This has been there for years; just validated it still works as before. Please let us know if it doesn't. Thanks for the report! Regardless of Browser, Google Docs also has some options to reclaim space: 1) using the Google Docs menu, not the OS menu: View -> fullscreen --this will hide everything but the document itself. You can press ESC to exit. 2) "Compact Controls" view - This is a little caret icon at the far right of the document toolbar (^) but I think on MacOS this would be shift-command-F --this hides the document title and menus, leaving the document and the docs toolbar. You can type in the "search the menus" box to get at menu items, or click the same icon (now pointing down - v) to exit compact controls view. |
