Is there a Minimal Mode / Reading Mode / Focus Mode?

[plissk3n]

Hi there,
big fan of xchange. Use it a lot to edit my pdfs. What I am missing though is a minimal mode which hides all distractions. This includes:

* Ribbons
* Quick Tools Bar
* The menu items above the ribbons
* Maybe the tab bar
* Maybe the bottom navigation items

So ideally everything is hidden except the pdf itself, a plus would be if even the default window items (title bar, close button, frame) would be hidden.

I know that I could probably get the editor in a similar state by hiding elements, but that is a chore. There should be a one button solution for this.

Background is by the way for reading books on the PC while working with different software besides it, so fullscreen is not an option for me.

Is this an option I havent found yet? If not feature request I guess

Thanks!

Hello plissk3n,

Please try the F8 key - that would hide the whole ribbon.
If you have any document specific panes (e.g. thumbnails/search) those would remain open, but you can then quickly minimize them with a couple more clicks on these:

Kind regards,

Hi Stefan,

I would also appreciate a “reader mode” or let's call it “full window.”

This mode should basically be the same as fullscreen (F11), but limited to the current window instead of on the entire screen.

The F8 and Ctrl-F8 aren’t satisfying because they don’t hide the sidebars, search window, etc.

Best regards,

Martin

Hello, martin vetter

If we see more demand for it, I am sure the dev team could be convinced to add such a mode, but it would not be a trivial function to add. As such, at the moment I am sorry to say it is unlikely to make the cut, or be given a high priority if it were accepted.

Kind regards,
