toggle between default layout and maximized content area

toggle between default layout and maximized content area

avatar

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to quickly switch (using keyboard) in and out of a state where the content area occupies most (preferably all) of the screen space. So far I found I can close or auto-hide individual areas like Navigation, Ribbon and Footer. Is there a way to show/hide all 3 at once?

Thank you.
-R.

hmmm, not in RDM itself

For the footer itself, the key combination does not work, but I'm on a Mac running Windows 10 on Parallels, some key commands are touchy...

I have implemented a solution using an AutoIT macro and a desktop shortcut in order to have a global keyboard combination to launch the macro. If you are interested in that workaround please send me a PM.

Best regards,

Maurice

Thanks, but I'm an AutoHotkey user. I reported the issue with the key combination to Bug Reports board. I am on Windows natively and it closes/opens status bar instead of the footer.

Actually, I saw very little in the footer tabs, and everything was grayed out. Is that because I'm using the free version?

AFAIK Autohotkey can achieve the same capabilities of sending keyboard commands.

For the footer, it may be a remnant of an older UI organisation that was in RDM but has been replaced. David was looking into this. It does the same as Hiding the status bar in our current release.
