This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/haywardgg/wp-classic-editor-fullscreen-toggle/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Here's a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin that adds a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+F) to toggle full-screen mode in the Classic Editor. The plugin is minimal, focused only on the fullscreen toggle feature, works with the official classic editor plugin and should work with other classic editor plugins.

How It Works

  • Keyboard shortcut: Press Ctrl + Shift + F to toggle fullscreen mode
  • What gets hidden: Admin sidebar, admin bar, publish metabox, slug editor, and other distractions
  • Visual feedback: Shows a small hint in the editor toolbar with the shortcut
  • Editor expands: The editor area expands to fill most of the screen

What It Hides in Fullscreen Mode

  • WordPress admin sidebar menu
  • Admin toolbar at the top
  • Publish metabox (right sidebar)
  • Slug editor
  • Footer
  • Other post metaboxes

Optional Floating Button [Untested]

If you prefer a mouse-based toggle option, uncomment the addFloatingButton() line in the JavaScript file.
