I don't know what you mean by that.  Rebinding the key is a single step;
you don't have to disable the default binding to rebind it.

As for the <f11> keybinding, AFAICT that is becoming the standard "full
screen" key in many applications; since we don't use it for anything
else, and it doesn't conflict with the existing Emacs user interface, it
is good to follow the convention.

But: why doesn't <f11> toggle a true full screen mode, at least on
platforms which support that?  That would be more useful, since ordinary
maximization can be done with window decorations anyway.
