In 2013 you can also add to the QAT the hidden command "Toggle Full Screen View".
Instead of using the shortcut CTRL+F1, I prefer just to double-click one of the tab names (ie double-click the "Home" text on the Home tab) to enable the Ribbon Outline view. To return to the normal Ribbon state, just double-click your mouse again!
press Ctrl+Shift+F1, you will get a full screen
Instead of Ctrl + F1, I use Ctrl + Shift + F1 (Excel 2016)
Alt W E sequence for full screen
ESC to get back
