+"""
+This module exports the function `toggle_fullscreen_state` which, as the name suggests,
+toggles the fullscreen state of the current window. To clarify, this does *not* change
+anything about the dimensions and position of the window, and internal (to Qtile)
+fullscreen state represented by `libqtile.backend.base.FloatStates`. Instead, it changes
+the fullscreen state from the point of view of the client. This can be used to make
+programs render their window contents as if they were fullscreened while keeping them
+within a tiled layout. It supports both X11 and Wayland.
+
+*NOTE*: In its current form this is incompatible with `auto_fullscreen`, which must be
+set to `False`. Manual fullscreening using the built-in commands (e.g.
+`lazy.window.toggle_fullscreen()`) work as expected.
+
+Example usage:
+
+    from fake_fullscreen import toggle_fullscreen_state
+
+    Key([mod, "shift"], "f", lazy.function(toggle_fullscreen_state))
