Yes -- a "toggle monocle mode" verb kind of. ( The term "Monocle mode" is from the minimalistic tiling window manager "dwm" for Linux, which gives the same effect but for any window ).

I agree no need to remove the old ones, but let me clarify that I didn't mean to bring back all toggles on 2nd press of key, but just to "restore" state as before.

So, if dialogs were hidden, but toolbas and menus visible, when requesting monocle mode, pressing monocle mode toggle once more (or if its shift+monocle key), would bring back toolbars and menus, but not make dialogs visible.

I think that is the most sane behaviour from a UX/user perspective.

There's no need to get rid of the current options. There's something nice about being able to call back one (but not all) of the kinds of dialogues. But yes, a "hide all" or "vanish ui" option would be good. 

Maybe ctrl-tab is full-screen+focusmode+hidedialogues.

At any rate, one more verb to add.

ah, sorry, misunderstood the function of these:

f12 = toggle dialogs
shift+f11 = toggle menus/toolbars on/off
f11 = toggle "distraction free mode" (similar but not same as fullscreen mode in windows)

Of the three I find f11 to be hardest to explain; maybe something like "remove gutter and resize to viewport"...

Anyway, it's quite a load of different things. As a user I'd prefer a single "monocle/distraction free" toggle, which does all three, and undos all three when pressed again. This is similar to text editors like Sublime Text.

doesn't shift+f12 make more sense as it's shift+f11 for the other?

It's actually f11, shift+f11, f12 to hide everything for me.

We should probably assign a verb/hotkey combo to hide/restore everything except the canvas. 
I'd suggest using Tab like most other graphics applications do, however I really do like Tab to jump the selection to the next object in the hierarchy... tough one. :)

F11, then Shift + F11 works for me. (Ctrl+F11, which should do it, does
nothing for me on LinuxMint Xfce - never investigated if that's a
desktop shortcut problem...).
