<![CDATA[add options to hide address bar and tabs bar]]>Switching to Blink from Presto. I am a keyboard guy working on a 14'' laptop. In Presto I used to hide:

  1. tabs bar (often multiple tabs opened - why should anybody behind my shoulder see other tabs? + viewport maximization)
  2. address bar (viewport maximization) - for entering a URL I have been using the 'Ctrl+L' shortcut - it still works in Blink but does not open a popup with URL textbox but focuses on the address bar which I would like to hide. Providing I use fullscreen (F11) 'Ctrl+L' does not allow to input a URL anywhere

Searched Google, the forum, Chrome extensions & Opera flags. Don't see any option to get the functionalities.

From a developer's point of view the above does not seem complex - just add the option to hide the bars & add 'Ctrl+L' opening the Presto popup if URL bar hidden or fullscreen ON.

Will do?

Remember you need the Opera extension called Download Chrome Extension, to install a Chrome Extension.

What I mean is keeping the lean top bar with minimise/maximise/close buttons to have the window operational for non-keyboarders but hiding all else. Many apps have the simple 'View' menu allowing to hide/show anything. Should be standard.
