it seems to me that there's a missing distinction in our list of
view modes: the difference between maximised and fullscreen (or
perhaps fullscreen and all-screen).
Maximised is the case in which the application takes up the entire
available screen space minus a little bit of chrome either for
itself (a window bar with a title and perhaps some buttons) or for
the system (task bar, menu clock, etc.); whereas fullscreen is when
the viewport is the same size as the screen (e.g. for video
playback).
Both desktops and phones tend to have this distinction in one way
or another, so it sounds to me as something that we should expose
as well.
I think application mode already covers this if the application is
maximized as you defined it.
If application is maximised, then what is the keyword that describes a
window that has chrome but isn't occupying the entirety of the space
that windows can?
