add direct link editor <> fullscreen views?

[lmccart]

The designs have a proposed toggle between full screen and "minimized" or editor view. This seems to be different than the direct link to the full screen version as we have it now. In this version, I think it's more like an overlay...the url stays the same, the canvas just pops bigger with a white overlay over the editor behind it.

The question is, does this seem useful, or is this redundant? I like the direct link to full screen view, but another option is to just have this open a new tab with the current full screen view with the /full/ url (no author info).

I've been noticing as students present in class that it would be convenient to have some sort of maximize/minimize for p5.js rendered sketch area and the code editor itself. What I see students do a lot is drag the middle bar all the way to the left and all the way to the right depending on what they want to highlight.

I like the idea of having these features on the editor page itself in addition to the separate "full" view, but don't feel confident in this opinion so am open to any and all ideas.

We discussed this, and decided that both the preview and the code editor should be able to be maximized. This could either be with the arrow icon above, or both the editor and the preview could have dropdown arrows. These maximizing/minimizing actions could also have keyboard shortcuts.

Is this ability to maximize a sketch directly from the code editor view still planned? It seems right now the only way to quickly view a sketch in full screen mode is to edit the URL in the location bar, changing sketches to full.

It would be great for students if they could easily switch back and forth from code view to full screen view. Going back to the code from the full screen view is possible from the <> button on the full screen view, but there's no easy way to go the other direction.
