Bennett, try whether "ui-toggle fullscreen" hide the global menu

It does work, and the menubar nicely appears automatically when the
mouse goes to the top of the screen. Nice work!
There are a couple glitches I discovered in a few minutes of testing.
First, ui-toggle fullscreen does not work unless a document is open.
(Is that intentional?)
Second, Document > Outline does not work after fullscreen mode has
been invoked, even after returning to normal windowed mode. (The menu
item successfully toggles as indicated by the checkmark, but no
outline appears.) I suspect this has something to do with the fact
that the the outline on Mac is a drawer rather than a docked widget.
In other programs that allow fullscreen mode, drawers open from the
side of the screen inwards in full screen mode, rather than the edge
of the window outwards (as in windowed mode).
A final question/request (which may go beyond what you want to do, so
feel free to ignore it): especially with widescreen monitors
(standard on Macs), fullscreen mode as currently implemented results
in unreadably long lines. Would it be possible to define line length
(or % of screen width) to use? -- The idea, as some users have
requested, would be to have "distraction free writing" -- something
like WriteRoom.
