Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-12-16 18:23:03 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Maybe it is related to:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51265
but I am not familiar with MS VS.

Anyway, most of the time I use Kdevelop in regular way, editor, menus, file list, etc. But sometimes I have to do some serious redesign and I wish to see more right away -- such mode as fullscreen editor would be very handy:
* status turned off
* all panes except editor turned off
* menu off
* win decorations off

BUT! All KDE would be available -- task switch, panels, etc.

When exiting that mode Kdevelop should restore all panes and widgets exactly like they were before.

Why do you open a new bugreport if you know the same thing already exists in the BTS? Anyway, you can do what you want today with any KDE3 setup.

Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-12-16 22:23:55 UTC 
a) it is not a duplicate since the other report is fixed (closed), and I don't know the MS VS
b) no, I cannot get this effect -- do you have in mind fullscreen mode? it is far from this wish

If you still want to close this report, please reopen the other one. Otherwise it has not point, since there is no such feature right now.
Comment 3 Andreas Pakulat 2007-12-17 12:01:54 UTC 
It is a duplicate, wether or not you know MSVS doesn't matter here. Its the same wish for having a maximized editor-area. And its doable with a combination of turning off toolbars/statusbars/menu and letting the windowmanager remove the titlebar when the window is maximized. I tried it, works perfectly, all you have to do is explore a bit what your windowmanager can do (if you don't use kwin, well thats your problem).

Comment 4 Andreas Pakulat 2007-12-17 12:14:04 UTC 
Bah, ok. Lets have one wishlist item open to remember us developers that a nice keyboard-shortcut or menu-entry for doing all the needed things is a good idea. 

So this wish is about having an action that does the following things:
- hide the menubar
- hide the statusbar
- hide all toolviews
- hide all toolbars
- set the window flag for getting a borderless window, after maximizing the window
- if possible hide the toolbutton areas

And upon a second invocation of the shortcut the action should undo all the above to the state it was before.

This will probably not be done in KDevelop3 though.

Thank you Andreas!

I think all users/developers wait for KDE4 so there is no problem about KDevelop3.

What's the state of this?
Comment 7 Kevin Funk 2016-04-01 09:13:32 UTC 
@Maciej: There's a "Concentration Mode" in KDevelop 5 now (will remove all tool button areas, for instance) -- additionally to that, you can double-click on the editor tab to hide all tool bar areas.

Do you think this solves your problem?
