Comment on Single Application Mode: My favorite hidden feature of OS X

Comments

I usually just go fullscreen. One of the biggest peeves I have is that Chrome doesn't show the Omnibox (nor does it let you type a new url) while in fullscreen mode.

I do love Sublime Text 2's distraction free mode.

Chrome doesn't show the Omnibox

It does:

- View > Enter Full Screen mode -- with Omnibox and tabs.

- View > Enter Presentation mode -- without Omnibox or tabs.

Or click the little button on the right to switch between modes: http://i.imgur.com/GD1LX.png

Am I crazy or just stupid? I can't find (nor did I know there existed) anything like that.

I'm usually switching between Ubuntu and Windows 7.

I think I need to dig deeper in to the chrome settings.

Edit: Never mind, looks like an OSX only feature.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about OS X and its recently introduced full screen mode, which Chrome initially supported without showing Omnibox.
