Fullscreen

Using LyX in Full-screen mode

With LyX 1.6 you can toggle gui elements and expand your LyX editing area to full screen.

Look for the doxygen documentation of ui-toggle LFUN for toggling particular elements. That will enable you to customize the view of fullescreen window even more, e.g. status and menu bar toggling.

Currently fullscreen mode was implemented (and binded to F11 key) which corresponds to ui-toggle fullscreen LFUN.

They are known limitations of this:

• for Mac users outliner does not work properly in fullscreen. Also focusing problems were reported when switching to/from fullscreen mode for some users.
• toolbar configuration is shared between multiple windows and thus fullscreen mode toggles visibility of toolbars in other windows.
