Hi!

Don't really mind if it's a doubleclick or a keypress (is F1 used for anything...?), just would be cool if we kept such a function somehow.

The reason why I liked the broken behaviour so much is that usually the log pane is best kept small, because it's really not so useful. You mostly want to see the editor, and maybe a few one-liners that the compiler spits out. The default size is just about good for that.
Occasionally though, you get STL errors which output 30-35 lines of text, so you have to resize the log pane to be able to figure out where they start and where they end. After that, you wish that the log pane could just disappear again, because now it takes 3/4 of your screen. F2-F2 was a nice way of doing this fast and consistently.

Now of course if you could just hit a button to make the logpane pop to "full size" and back again, you'd not even have to touch the mouse, and you'd not need to try to hit that narrow resize margin. That would be really cool.

Any ThreadSearch user will appreciate keeping the original message notebook size...
I personnaly use F1 key for the very nice help plugin (unless it is default shortcut??), wxWidgets documentation is well integrated that way.

I'm dealing with *large* projects, doing more searches than compilations. This is why this feature is so important for me.

And if I may, even better is to close the logs window when pressing Escape.
That key makes a difference :-)

Isn't it possible do use keybinder plugin to replace F2 shortcut by esc ?

At least not on linux.

I've tried assigning escape but pressing it closes the configuration window. It will probably cause other problems if I assign it (like other windows will not close on Esc). I don't think users should be able to assign this key, it should come from within the editor.
I've got used to it when working with VS version 6 (although it was not retained in future versions). It's not that crucial but it's a nice to have feature.
