We have that already. under the View menu you will find full-screen mode. If you want something in between you can toggle the dockers with ctrl-h > Many of them are real killers at being non-intrusive. > > For a discussion on this aspect please see > http://mac.appstorm.net/general/opinion/are-minimalist-writing-apps-necessa > ry/ What you have to remember is that the writing itself is only one aspect of the writing process. I read an essay by a novelist saying that it takes about 40% of the total time to create a novel. Editing takes another 40% and 20% is planning of what to actually write if I remember correctly. Our goal is to support all phases of the writing process up until publishing. In the light of that, a full-screen mode is a pretty minor thing. > Do we have a brainstorm wiki page for Author already?

I'm going to target Calligra 2.6 already for the first release. Of course that version will only have 1 or 2 major features that is not in Calligra Words already. _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
