This works fine for browsers, terminals, but afaik the OSX builds of emacs don't ship with a fullscreen mode; so you just do M-x server-start, and in a fullscreened terminal run /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -nw

Although that post (and the patch) is a bit dated, it worked fine for me (one hunk didn't apply cleanly but after reviewing it I decided it's obsolete, so I just ignored it.)
The result is just what I expected, I can't believe I waited that long before giving it a try. Highly recommended, if like me you prefer native Emacs over one running in a terminal.
(Somehow it even manages to avoid that annoying full-screen animation which so far I didn't manage to completely turn off for iTerm.)
Minimizing a window in to the Dock is only worth it if the app has another window(s) that you want to remain visible. If instead you Hide the app, it doesn't take any clicks to get it back, you just Cmd-Tab.
With no mention or link to the original work.
I do love Sublime Text 2's distraction free mode.
It does:
- View > Enter Full Screen mode -- with Omnibox and tabs.
- View > Enter Presentation mode -- without Omnibox or tabs.
Or click the little button on the right to switch between modes: http://i.imgur.com/GD1LX.png
I'm usually switching between Ubuntu and Windows 7.
I think I need to dig deeper in to the chrome settings.
Edit: Never mind, looks like an OSX only feature.
