If you want to maximize the editor window AND full-screen the app, you can create a macro with the following two commands:

Toggle Full Screen Mode
Hide All Tool Windows

And then assign a hotkey to the macro. Here's how I did this:

• File > Settings > Keymap
• Use the search bar to search for the two commands above. Assign obscure hotkeys to those.
• Edit > Macros > Start macro recording
• Hit the two obscure hotkeys you just assigned: this should max the editor and full-screen the app
• Stop recording. Name the macro
• Open File > Settings > Keymap again. Find the Macros section, find your macro, assign a nice hotkey to it.
