Full screen is a very nice feature for blocking everything else out while you write. I’m not going to pretend it’s innovative or anything—I think Blue-Tec (now called The Soulmen), the creators of Ulysses, were the first to implement something like this for a text editor—but it is very handy. Either hit F11 or click on “Full Screen” in the toolbar above – do it now!

You should now be in full screen mode—it’s just you and your text.

Some things you need to know about full screen:
	●	Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen. You will see that a control panel appears. From here you can change the text scale, set the position and width of the “paper” (the text column), or its height by holding down the Alt key and using the alternate slider, fade the background in and out and view the word and character counts of the document. There are also buttons for displaying the Keywords and Inspector (we won’t go into that right now, though, as we have yet to talk about keywords and notes—come back and try them out once you’ve gone through the rest of the tutorial) and a Go To menu so you can switch documents without leaving full screen. On the far right, you’ll find a slider for setting how transparent the background is on either side of the paper, and button for exiting full screen. You can also hit F11 or the Escape key to exit full screen mode.
	●	You can only enter full screen mode for text documents.
	●	By default, full screen uses “typewriter” scrolling (another Ulysses first, I believe). This simply means that as you type, the text will remain in the centre of the screen vertically so that you don’t have to stare at the bottom of the screen all the time. You can turn this off via Format > Options > Typewriter Scrolling (Windows Key+Ctrl+T), and you can also turn it on for the main editor if you wish, independently.
	●	You can customise the look of full screen mode. You can use the Appearance pane of the Options to change the background colours and you can change the colour of the text in full screen mode (so you could set it up to have a retro green-text-on-black-background look, for instance).
Okay, let’s move on to “Step 5: The Inspector” while still in full screen mode. To do so, move the cursor to the bottom of the screen and click on the “Go To” icon so that the menu appears. Then, choose Draft > Part 1: Basics > Step 5: The Inspector.
