Feature request: auto-hide menus in fullscreen

Hello again,

we toyed with something like this once but the increase in vertical space didn't seem to warrant the usability problems. In any case, I think an even simpler way to add this would be a (configurable) keyboard shortcut to hide/show the menu and tool bars? Do you agree, if so, I'd add this to qpdfview's trunk when I find the time so you could try this out.

Best regards, Adam.

Added configurable shortcuts to toggle tool bars and the menu bar in trunk revision 1547. Please try it out and report your findings. Thanks.

That works, thanks for the quick reply!

Some thoughts:
  * a settings option to hide everything as soon as you enter full-screen mode would be great;
  * Ctrl-Alt-T is often used for Launch Terminal;
  * a single shortcut to hide everything might be easier to use?

Best,
Adam.

Hello,

concerning your observations:

* A setting to toggle tool bar and menu when toggling fullscreen seems sensible. I'll look into it.

* I actually use that shortcut. :-) I wanted to keep it consistent yet prevent it from be triggered accidentally. I'll change the default to "Shift+Alt+T/M" then but it is configurable in any case.

* Might be easier but is less flexible. The setting regarding fullscreen mode should remove the additional key press completely in most cases.

Best regards, Adam.

Added the setting to trunk revision 1549. Please test and comment. Thanks.

Thanks, that works great! One final thing: would it be possible to also hide the tab bar? (I'm basically looking to reproduce Firefox's behvaiour, where F11 hides everything except the content.)

Best,
Adam.

Ok, to keep it simple, trunk revision 1550 considers the tab bar as another tool bar...

Perfect. Thanks again!
