What else works is somewhat dependent on the application you mainly use for 
writing.  OOo has some interesting display modes:


1.	CTRL-SHIFT-J (fullscreen) removes the top & bottom clutter of toolbars

2.	setting zoom ratio to "start page" displays two whole pages side-by-side
A hot-key to & from that could be useful.
