OK I stand corrected about other applications.

But still must agree with hb that Okular makes it difficult to know how to get out of full-screen. Sure, people who are committed users of KDE probably know Ctrl-Shift-F, but Okular is really a basic application that is widely used by beginners (in my experience and household). So it's hard to see why you wouldn't make it as easy as possible to get out of full-screen, if not with escape then with something else that a naive user would easily find. If consistency among KDE apps is a priority, then why not a 'Close' button?

I see that there was a pretty heated discussion some years back about the best key combination for getting into full-screen: http://git.net/ml/kde-usability/2009-06/msg00000.html Central to this discussion was what users were used to, which is even more critical when leaving full-screen, since at least if you can't get into full-screen you can still use the computer, but if find yourself locked in to full-screen then you are really blocked from doing anything.

Cheers, Jonathan

Hi Albert!

Please open okular in fullscreen mode and ask your wife or girl friend
or your neighbour how to come out of this mode.

I don't ask you to give up Ctrl+Chift+F.

Kate has a button "close fullscreen". Firefox opens the toolbar and
window title when mouse cusor moves to the upper corner. Okular has not
even a menu in full screen mode.
