Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:
It'd be really nice to have TextEdit support fullscreen mode in Lion, to bring a simple, minimal, dedicated, distraction-free writing environment that's built in to the OS. There are several third party apps that already do this (WriteRoom, Byword, and iA Writer, to name a few), but from what I can tell, none of them use Lion's new fullscreen functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open up a new TextEdit document.

Expected Results:
Expected to see the full screen icon in the top left corner of the window chrome.

Actual Results:
It's not there. This makes me sad. :(

Regression:
None, just never included in Lion as far as I know.

Notes:
It's probably possible to add this to TextEdit through a third party extension, but having an official implementation from you guys would be fantastic. If this is implemented, I'd suggest adding a "resize width" function, much like what fullscreen Safari has.
