+ <p>When working with a large document, you may find it helpful to work in
+ <app>gedit's</app> fullscreen mode. Using fullscreen mode will hide the
+ <gui>menu bar</gui>, <gui>tab bar</gui> and the <gui>tool bar</gui>,
+ presenting you with more of your text and allowing you to better focus on
+ your tasks.</p>

+ <title>Turn on fullscreen mode</title>
+ <p>To turn on fullscreen mode, press <key>F11</key>. <app>gedit's</app>
+ menu, title, and tab-bars will hide, and you will only be presented with
+ the text of your current file.</p>
+ <p>If you need to perform an action from the <app>gedit</app> menu while
+ working in fullscreen mode, move your mouse pointer to the top of the
+ screen. The <app>gedit</app> menu bar will reappear, and you can select
+ your desired action.</p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>To switch between open tabs while in fullscreen mode, press either
+ <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Alt</key><key>PgUp</key></keyseq> or
+ <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Alt</key><key>PgDn</key></keyseq>.</p>
