Full screen mode for the QtCreator editor - how to?

[TorAn]

Usually I have a bunch of windows opened in QtCreator, including editors, views and output panes. When I am typing I'd like to have the editor occupy full screen, by hitting some key, like Fxx, and then return back to the environment layout once I am done typing. Full-screen mode in QtCreator only makes creator main window full-screen, I am looking for a way to get in and out of full-screen mode for the editor window within QtCreator.
Can it be done?

Thanks.

You can close the side bar by using the alt+0 keyboard shortcut. Apart from that you'd have to modify Creator's source code to do what you want. You could probably write a simple Creator plugin that does what you want.

I wonder if it is only me that experiences the inconvenience of having part of the screen real estate obscured by the windows that I don't need at this point? (I am used to VS full screen mode that makes the editor full screen)

Since I want to keep my source code clean I usually constrain the width of the text to around 80-100 characters per line so I don't need that much space horizontally (I sometimes split the view horizontally and then I can make use of more space). I also tend to write short code so I don't need that much space vertically. Hence full screen mode wouldn't do me much good.
