I'm stuck in full screen mode and can't get out. Should just be able to hit escape.

Had the same issue. Tried Ctrl combinations. 'Ctrl M' works to get the view tab on top, where you can exit full screen.

Please provide a keyboard shortcut to toggle between the main window and the bookmark window. After we create a bookmark, we have to click on the main window to scroll through the pages. If there is a keyboard shortcut available, that would ease the task
