Some panels can be toggled on/off from menu entries. Others can not. Have all toggle

In Notepad ++ there are a number of panels supplementing the editor itself. All can be opened by selecting in the menu. Some can be closed again from the menu

  • Project as Workspace
  • Document Map
  • Function List.

Others can only be closed by closing the panel directly

  • Character Panel
  • Clipboard History
  • Project Panel (1, 2, 3)
  • Search Results

This seems inconsistent. I think that all panels should toggle on/off. I say this because we can have multiple panels in a stack docked to the side or bottom of N++. If you close a docked panel, you close the entire stack.

I would rather not close an entire stack just to close a single panel. I also would rather not drag a panel off the stack to close it. It seems the best way is having the menu entry (or toolbar entry or shortcut) toggle the panel

@Uhf7 Is there any way to close all panels in stock with one action? When I have a lot of them in one stock now I must click [x] or middle mouse button on each panel. Overall this solution with [x] is better than previouse, but now there is no option to close all :) Maybe with Ctrl + [X] or other key can do it? Even context menu >> Close Alt+F4 when undocked close only one panel.

PS, hmm context menu >> Close Alt+F4 when undocked close only one panel. but when I press Alt+F4 it close all Notepad++.

Edit: ohh I see it was discussed in PR.
