Description
User feedback requested a new layout mode that optimizes vertical space, such that additional toolbars are hidden and the majority of the vertical space can be reserved for the target Editor. This would be different from Zen mode because the side panels are still desired and these are more so a contribution to horizontal space, which isn't as much of an issue when presenting a screen.
In addition to Full Screen mode, the list of UI elements that could be hidden by default in this mode to maximize vertical space include:
- Top Bar
- Editor Action Bar
- The Breadcrumb

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Full Screen and Zen mode entry points and how they control the Top Bar, Editor Action Bar, Breadcrumb, and side panels. Define the Presentation Layout behavior so those vertical-space-consuming elements are hidden while side panels remain available, and verify that it is distinct from Zen mode.
