Ability to hide one panel, or resize panel shortcut

Hi,

First of all thanks for the great software. Anyway I see an useful improvement that I really want.

+ Hide one panel: sometimes in small (FHD) screen, I need to see the whole long file name, as the file name is really long, so the solution is to use the mouse to resize the active panel, As Total Commander is keyboard oriented, I would love to have the ability to hide one panel, and with shortcut.

+ If the "hide one panel" is not possible, or it requires too much effort (because of the basic principle of Total Commander is 2 panels management), the best solution should be having a shortcut to resize the active panel, wider or smaller. I think this could be the best.

Thank you!

Before making suggestions, please check the available commands
or ask in the English forum.

There are already these commands
cm_100Percent
which can be used on the right or left side.

cm_50Percent
to return to the normal view.

You can e.g. bind shortcut to command on configuration "Misc." page.

Note: you can also build user command with parameter for any arbitrary width of pane, e.g.

Code: Select all

[em_percent85]
cmd=cm_100Percent
param=85
