Er, F11 was an example (that's what it is in Firefox).
I could have said "press whatever key or take whatever user action is
necessary to invoke the browser's mode where it occupies the entire
screen", but I thought that people would have understood what I mean. It
seems not.
My assertion is that the idea of "going to full screen" (i.e. removing
all chrome and allowing the content to take up as much space as
possible) is a fairly common browser thing. Of course, those with a
wider experience of browser implementations than I may well tell me I'm
wrong.
