How do I preview my final edit in Lightroom?

New Here ,

I remember a while ago while using lightroom you could select a shortcut on your keyboard to preview you final edited photo in lightroom. There were 3 options, with 3 variable settings to black out the background panels and controls so that only you image was visable. I thought it was "command + L" which you clicked up to 3 times to roll through the 3 black out options. I can't seem to find any reference to it on this new version of Lightroom. Does anyone else remember this preview option?

The easiest option if you want to preview your image using your Lightrom Desktop app with the rest of the screen blacked out is to use the "F" key, which puts you into full screen mode with the black surround.
