DistractionFreeMode

Textadept can mimic the "distraction free" mode other editors may offer, where most UI elements are hidden leaving just the editor window. Put the following code in your ~/.textadept/init.lua:

local distraction_free = false
local menubar = textadept.menu.menubar
local margin_widths = {}
local update_ui_hook
local maximized = ui.maximized
keys['ctrl+f11'] = function()
  if not distraction_free then
    textadept.menu.menubar = nil
    for i = 1, view.margins do
      margin_widths[i] = view.margin_width_n[i]
      view.margin_width_n[i] = 0
    end
    view.h_scroll_bar = false
    view.v_scroll_bar = false
    update_ui_hook = events.connect(events.UPDATE_UI,
                                    function()
      ui.statusbar_text, ui.buffer_statusbar_text = '', ''
    end)
    events.emit(events.UPDATE_UI)
    ui.maximized = true
  else
    textadept.menu.menubar = menubar
    for i = 1, view.margins do
      view.margin_width_n[i] = margin_widths[i]
    end
    view.h_scroll_bar = true
    view.v_scroll_bar = true
    events.disconnect(update_ui_hook)
    ui.maximized = maximized
  end
  distraction_free = not distraction_free
end

Pressing "Ctrl+F11" will toggle the mode.
