I maybe wrong, but LO already has OSX fullscreen support when you click the
green bubble button in the title bar, though it likely needs work as i see a
black empty bar at the top above the toolbars.

LO having OSX fullscreen support doesnt mean that we cant also have LO
fullscreen support, only that we should likely use a different shortcut for
them, so mac users arent focused.

I had already tested Pages and Safari and its fullscreen support was identical
to Firefox's (simply hide menubar and titlebar), but mentioned Firefox as it is
a cross-platform app like LO, and on windows and linux it has document area
fullscreen support and doesnt have the feature on mac. Tested Chrome just now
and it is similar to Firefox.

So if i get this correctly, you want to implement LO's fullscreen mode but be
able to toggle it with OSX fullscreen mode green button and shortcut.

If apps, even Apple ones, have a OSX fullscreen mode that simply fills the app
on the screen, wouldnt users want that same functionality in a fullscreen mode
with LO when toggled with the green bubble and not what LO defines as a
fullscreen mode?
