1. Click anywhere in the Query Editor window.

2. Press SHIFT+ALT+ENTER to toggle between full-screen mode and regular mode.

   This keyboard shortcut works with any document window.

Hiding Tool Windows

2. On the Window menu, click Auto Hide All.

3. To restore the tool windows, open each tool, and then click the Auto Hide button on the window to pin it open.
