Giving Summit a spin again after bouncing around apps for a while now. Gotta say this app has come a long way since the last time I used it and is rapidly becoming my favorite fediverse browser.

I've been tweaking the myriad of settings to my liking and everything feels fluid EXCEPT, I have been unable to find a way to keep my system navigation and notifications on-screen while I browse.

Right now, Summit runs as a full-screen app, constantly hiding my device navigation buttons, which is not my preferred way to interact. I am constantly reaching for my back button only to realize it is either two taps (swipe to show, then click), or I need to reach my lazy thumb aaaaallllll the way to the opposite corner of the screen to hit that back arrow.

I would love to have an option to keep this app from running exclusive full screen mode and instead have it work like every other social/browser app on my phone and keep my system navigation intact while I browse.

ETA: And if I'm just overlooking an existing setting that does this, consider this a request to make that setting more clearly defined and located!
