You can, just like games do, with a simple call to CGDisplayCapture.
TM is actually really nicely suited to full screen mode, because it has no
tool bar etc.

My mate brian christensen has a little tutorial here

Won't need much time.

The idea is that a single key explodes the current pane to full screen, then
user types away until their job is done then the same key toggles back to
regular multi-app multi-window candy mode.

In terms of prioritization, adding this will push TM onto the list of
environments that writers like to work in: probably still more journalists
than web/app hackers in the world?
