Now after clicking on the toggle full screen icon post will opened in the full screen mode for editing. In the full screen mode most of the shortcuts works exactly like normal editor

The full screen mode screen does not provide the facility to select the category and tags. We cannot even publish the post using the full screen mode. You need to click on the exit fullscreen link to return back to the normal screen editor.
