Bug 98290 that is dealing with improving mac shortcuts has alot of comments
about the shortcut for fullscreen mode, so i'm opening this bug report to deal
with that discussion.

I just tested it and yes the behaviour is different, as they are different
concepts. Mac's fullscreen is to have the application window take up the
fullscreen and LO's fullscreen is to have the document area take up the
fullscreen.

I guess this is true as other apps (i tested firefox) that have document area
fullscreen on windows and linux dont utilize Ctrl+Cmd+F in Mac for document
area fullscreen.

I would be infavour of disabling the Mac fullscreen functionality (disabling
the green bubble toggle) and keeping LO's fullscreen functionality and
improving LO's fullscreen functionality by hiding the titlebar, just like its
hidden in windows and linux. If the plan is to disable the Mac fullscreen
functionality, then there isnt a need to change the Ctrl+Cmd+F shortcut from
LO's fullscreen functionality.
