Full Screen Mode?
Is it possible to switch to a "full-screen" mode in Zotero on Windows or Linux? Most apps can be full-screened using "F11" key, however there seems to be no way to do that in Zotero. To read the PDF files within Zotero, full-screen mode is very essential. I still prefer reading my PDFs in an external PDF reader for this reason.
BTW, I have now got almost a full-screen setup in Ubuntu (GNOME) using these 2 extensions:
1. https://github.com/mlutfy/hidetopbar
2. https://github.com/pixel-saver/pixel-saver
Using these extensions I have removed the Gnome top bar and window title bar. It's a much better reading experience now. I have also set the left Gnome dock to auto-hide. This is how my laptop screen looks like now: https://imgur.com/a/wMLLX2N
For Windows, I was able to hide the title bar using a AutoHotKey script. I don't have the script handy right now (it was on a different laptop). I will post the script later and the screenshot for how my Windows desktop look.
All that remains to hide is that menu bar now. And we will have a full screen!
