Would it be possible to add a simple expand/collapse button/arrow for the HTML and Property panes?  I've never been a fan of auto-hide.
 
Thanks

Isn't that what the "pin" does ?

the pin also turns on autohide which he doesnt want.
 
I was going to suggest shortcuts, but they no longer work:
  1. Shift+F12, which used toggle HTML pane, now opens another HTML pane
  2. Shift+F4 no longer works to toggle the Properties pane - it now works same as F4: toggling focus on the P.P.

No, pin opens it permanently.  Or it it engages autohide.  I just want a simple button to click to expand, click to close.  Which for me is faster and more efficient than using autohide.  A keyboard shortcut as Tom mentioned would work too.

OK, using F12 and F4 doesn't do what you want ? It opens and closes the panes...

shortcuts dont close the panes any more Pierre (see my post above re shortcuts).
Although, with panes on auto-hide, F4 & F12 will expand them and they will automatically close

OK, got it. In v77:
  • Fixed: HTML Pane: Better support for multiple HTML panes. In particular, pressing F12 will now move the focus to the pane that shows the current item.
  • Fixed: HTML Pane: Shift + F12 now opens / closes the current HTML pane
 
HTH !

yep,
fixed in v77 :up:
 
If a HTML pane is open, and focus is in the grid, Shift+F12 will first move focus back to the HTML pane, pressing keys a second time will close HTML pane,
which is logical/intuitive to me.
 
I forget what F11 used do -- but note that it now hides/displays the HTML *and* Properties Panes (where they already opened).
If a second HTML pane is open, F11 will still hide/display the first HTML + properties panes, and move focus back to the grid.
=> which is also nice :-)
 
EDIT// F11 is defined as zoom on the keyboard page: I can correct -- link to nonexistent node ID 145 --, and add to other relevant pages if you approve Pierre (HTML/ Properties panes shortcuts pages)
 
Not sure if that documented - or where it should be documented. (Will have a look later if no-one sends me the right direction.)

Pierre, the shortcuts don't work for me, F12 opens the HTML pane while also closing the properties pane, and visa versa for F4.  I want to just be able to open and close the HTML pane on its own.  I probably just need to get used to double clicking the pin icon when I want to lock the pane open.  But that is an extra click .
