Allow to minimize Side Panel

[ngdangtu-vn]

I totally love the Side Panel idea. And it would be great if I can minimize/collapse it to small icon like InkScape (or Photoshop)

InkScape example:

@sbatten does #141569 imply that new button will be added as well?

I think he has the same idea with me but mistook it with bug. It just similar term.

I think once they fix the issue with the side panel. This can be done. Basically, it should work before the update: people can move the terminal and other views to the right if they want to (I'm one of them) and the views can be toggled with shortcuts (that's what I was doing before the update).

My bad, I never plan to move the panel so I didn't know about this. but toggle with shortcuts can be done for panel with Ctrl + J right?

[nguyendviet]

Yes. That's the default shortcut in VSCode. This is helpful: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings
You can also open the keybindings add search for what you need.

by the way, the visual studio float panel is very useful and powerful, we could use for reference

there is the float panel(FP) of vs2019, and some of those features are yummy

• when the FP is hide, there are titles standing by side.
• when click the of title of FP, the FP show, we can do something like navigation, but after lost the focus, the FP automatically hide in order to maximize the editor view
• we could also PIN those FP for persist view.

maybe the float panel is what I want 🐶

I still believe that it would be perfect if we could have the float panel rather than side panel
