Support maximizing the panel when justified#288038
Closed
Conversation
Remove restrictions that prevented panel maximization with non-center alignment. When maximizing a justified panel, the sidebar and auxiliary bar are now hidden and restored appropriately. Changes: - Add PANEL_LAST_NON_MAXIMIZED_VISIBILITY state key to track sidebar and auxiliary bar visibility when maximizing justified panels - Update isPanelMaximized() to work regardless of panel alignment - Update toggleMaximizedPanel() to hide/show sidebar and auxiliary bar when maximizing/restoring non-center aligned panels - Remove auto-unmaximize behavior from setPanelAlignment() - Remove action preconditions that disabled maximize for justified panels - Clean up unused imports Co-authored-by: bpasero <900690+bpasero@users.noreply.github.com>
- Add explicit type parameter to PANEL_LAST_NON_MAXIMIZED_VISIBILITY - Remove unnecessary optional chaining since state has default value Co-authored-by: bpasero <900690+bpasero@users.noreply.github.com>

Running out of steam, still a lot of issues around when panel maximised in non default config and opening 1st/2nd sidebar. |

Panel maximization was restricted to center-aligned panels only. This enables maximization for justified/left/right aligned panels by hiding the sidebar and auxiliary bar when maximizing.
