Cmd/Alt+Shift+F now shows or hides the status bar, complementing the fullscreen shortcut. Hidden, the emulated display scales up to fill the space the bar occupied, keeping its aspect: the canvas loses the bar's height, the same change as a pixel-aspect switch, so it resizes the texture and window the same way. The status-bar hit-testing self-gates (its cursor region collapses to nothing), and the recorder captures only the display region, so a recording is unaffected. Also available as a Status Bar menu item next to Fullscreen, listed in the keyboard-shortcuts panel and the UI guide. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Good call. I didn’t think of that.

Cmd+Shift+F (Alt+Shift+F on Windows/Linux) now toggles the status bar at the bottom of the window, complementing the existing fullscreen shortcut. When the bar is hidden the emulated display scales up to fill the space it occupied while keeping its aspect ratio — the canvas simply loses the bar's height, the same kind of change as switching pixel aspect, so the texture and window are resized the same way.
It's also available as a Status Bar item in the hamburger menu next to Fullscreen, and it's listed in the keyboard-shortcuts panel and the UI guide. Hiding shows a brief on-screen message ("Status bar hidden (Cmd+Shift+F restores)"), and restoring shows "Status bar restored", so the shortcut is discoverable even if you toggled it by accident.
Status-bar hit-testing self-gates when the bar is hidden (its cursor region collapses to nothing), and the recorder only ever captures the display region, so recordings are unaffected.
