Autohide for panels

(1/2) > >>

smallB:
Guys, I think that having panels like Manager, logs etc with auto hide option would be a good idea. Very often I don't need them just right now, but in a minute or two, but I also wouldn't like to switch them off completely. It would be nice if they can just get minimized and wait for me until I need them. Also there should be pin/unpin option to make them stay without autohiding.
Thanks.

Whats wrong with F2?

smallB:
Hi Morten,
1. It is absolutely not obvious that F2 can be used in order to hide/show those panels.
2. It doesn't work for manager panel - and perhaps other panels too.
Again, this shows inconsistency in interface design and it should be/could be improved. I think that would improved user experience overall.
Thanks.

I don't think so. It just shows you are not familiar with Code::Blocks. You can setup perspectives AS YOU LIKE and switch between them. Please consult the Code::Blocks documentation for details.

Look through the start-up tips in Code::Blocks, one of them says:
