ahhh sorry, i didnt read carefuly your post. indeed these are not part of the dialog and i thought it is way to much bloat to put all these things into preferences dialog. anyway you can manipulate this by ui-toggle lfun. something like \bind "F11" "command-sequence ui-toggle menubar; ui-toggle statusbar; ui-toggle fullscreen;" could help you. > Somebody typing F11 by mistake will end in a full screen mode qithout any > clue how to come back to normal mode.... fortunately, this setting is not going to be saved, so you can exit lyx and return back. somehow i feel that speinding Esc shortcut to fullscreen-off is not good idea. > Something that was nice in the old MsWord fullscreen mode was that the > menubar was drawn above the screen (and therefore invisible) but you could > still use it with the shortcuts. for example, typing Alt-F gave the drop > down file menu. I don't know if it is possible to do it with Qt. me neither. pavel
