Using the example of the property pane:
 
Currently, if the pane is already on autohide, pressing Shift+F4 once simply displays (if hidden) or hides the pane (if displayed)  i.e. it (initially) works exactly the same as F4
 
Suggestion:
when autohide is active, could you use the Shift+F4 key to first make the pane fixed (turn off autohide) ?
(It would then turn off as usual if Shit+F4 pressed again.)
 
So then with autohide on:
  • F4 would display or hide
  • Shift+F4 would turn off autohide status and show the pane 'fixed'

Hi Pierre,
this is nice, but wondering can it be fine-tuned a bit more:

in the new version 92,
using the example of the Properties pane:
  1. with autohide on, and the pane hidden, Shift+F4 opens the pane, turning autohide off (as requested)
  2. with autohide on, and the pane showing, Shift+F4 closes the pane completely
Would it also be possible in the second situation, that Shift+F4 first fixes the pane i.e. leave the pane open and turn off autohide?
(Pressing Shit+F4 again would close it.)
