Exit Distraction Free Mode

Description

When distraction free mode is accessed via the menu, there is no obvious way to switch back.

I did some searching and Control + Shift + / is supposed to be the toggle, but it does not work for me.
It did activate another application (KeePass), but I closed that (it runs as a service), but that made no difference!
I did discover that when you move the mouse close to the top of the editing area a tool bar appears - which helps, but I found the mouse needs to be in an exact location for the drop down to appear. So it is not an obvious action.
But still no luck with the shortcut (tried on two different Window 11 PC's)

Further testing:
Tried on a Mac:
Safari
Shift + Command + \ appears to show tabs minimised.

Firefox
Sort of works (I get indications it is toggling on and off), but the left sidebar and top admin bar remain open.

Hello @DavePorter,

Welcome to WordPress Core's Trac! Thank you for the suggested enhancement to the Site Editor.

The discussion and resolution though needs to happen upstream in the Gutenberg repository, where the Site Editor's @wordpress packages are maintained and enhanced. WordPress Core then consumes these packages in package.json.

Can you please report this here by adding a Feature request issue?

There are a number of 'exiting' distraction free mode issues I think could fulfill this: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20exit%20distraction%20free. For now, I am going to close this and recommend reviewing if any of these fit to add thoughts to. It is important to get all use cases on them so I would encourage that. If however, none seem to fit, you can absolutely make a new issue.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
