Perhaps might be nice in MediaWiki core, but would definitely be nice as at
least a MediaWiki extension, we should implement a "zen mode" capability from
?action=edit.

GitHub and it seems like the Cloud9 IDE both have this mode. It's demonstrated
here: <https://docs.c9.io/zen_mode.html>.

In short, in the case of GitHub, it appears to be a bit of JavaScript that adds
a "zen mode" button to the UI. When the user clicks this button, the
non-essential page elements are hidden from the page, allowing the user to
focus on the textarea (or other central input area) alone. Basically it reduces
the amount of noise on the page in order to increase the signal.
