Description DGardner 2009-06-17 21:34:52 UTC 
Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I click on the toolbar button to enter full-screen mode and I
have set digiKam to hide the toolbar when in full-screen mode, I
cannot get back to normal mode using any obvious means: F11, ESC,
context menu item, etc. I had to go online and find out that the
hot key to get back is Ctrl-Shift-F.

I know there are other bug reports about the choice of hot key,
but a user has to know which hot key to use in advance, as there
does not appear to be any way to get back using only the mouse
under the conditions I have described.

I suggest adding the ability to switch between full-screen mode
and normal mode to a right-click content menu when in full-screen
mode, as at least it won't leave an ignorant user like me stranded
when I don't know the hot key.

ESC keys has always work here...

Not for me. I even pressed the ESC key really hard lots of times
while swearing loudly and it still didn't help. Maybe you have a
custom hot key setting (I don't) or a different version of digiKam
(I'm on 0.10.0) or it does something different when the toolbar is
visible (my toolbar is not visible).
