No workbench action to hide panel

[atombender]

• VSCode Version: 1.6.1

There's no editor action to hide the panel. There is only workbench.action.togglePanel, and there's apparently no context so you can do when: "panelVisible" or whatever. So there's no way to bind a key to something that hides the panel.

That's cmd+b :)

Panel, not sidebar.

{ "key": "cmd+j", "command": "workbench.action.togglePanel" },
{ "key": "cmd+b", "command": "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility" },

(Also, cmd+b also toggles, doesn't hide.)

@rebornix Want to reopen?

[rebornix]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. And yes they share the same problem, no way to directly hide or show. It's a valid request and I think ppl have similar request in #13776 . Let's see if there will be any new API while implement that feature.

That seems like a different issue: Hide all panels/sidebar. This is just about needing a command.

[rebornix]

IMO I think it's not a good idea that just exposing a way to hide everything instead of splitting them into several meaningful commands. But wait and see @isidorn 's input on this and then see if we want to open this issue for tracking.

Dup of #14674
