What is the difference and correct usage of the follwoing window types:

  • full screen window
  • focus window
  • quake mode window

For me the full screen window looks the same as an fokus window except that a fokus window is not on the full screen. Both have not tab row, title bar and window border. Here is a screenshot of wt after enabling the "focus mode":

If I choose "Show/hide quake window" in the command palette on a normal window, nothing happens. Same on a quake window.
