Hey guys, Something worked for me:

Go see the shortcut assigned to your Toggle Full Screen in

Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts then

write Toggle Full Screen in the search.

You will see the associated shortcut.

If there is none, create the one you want!

Cheers!

Neither Esc nor Control L work on some occasions - there is a glitch there that you should look into.

F worked for me! It cycles through the different screen modes. I must have accidentally pressed it while going for V.

This article pops up when you try to search for the solution on Photoshop, so it confused me for a second when I discovered this is about Acrobat Reader...

What happened to good old intuitive ESC key?

ESC should work too, in general. There's a preference (under the Full Screen category) that allows ESC key to exit full-screen. It's on by default so ESC should work. But in case it gets unchecked, Control-L or Command-L can still be used.
