Morning Meta,

When we expand the composer, SAVE EDIT OR CREATE TOPIC is not visible, while I would expect this. Now you have to go back to compact composer to post or edit a post.

CMD/CTRL + ENTER does what you expect. We should be able to press those buttons on fullscreen composer.

Hi Marc,  
it seems to be intended, if I understand correctly this:

Hello, Yes I think that is for a kind of _writer mode_ much comfortable when you write long text etc… It hide everything to focus only the text. 🙂

Hmm, kinda confusing. I don’t see how a small button (where space is left already) interfered with a writing mode. I usually use full screen to edit large posts, or posts with many images. It’s inconvenient to first minimize and then click the reply/save button.

> Yeah I agree this seems odd, why do we hide the submit buttons in full screen @Johani? Oh wait, I remember. Because we feel if you are ninja enough to do full screen, you know that esc cancels and ctrl+enter submits the post. Just tested and, it works. Hover your mouse over the submit button if you’re going to say “but I didn’t know about the keyboard shortcut” wink
