Following thread http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2012-October/016930.html, it would be nice to have some shortcut to make visible or not the left and right panel in digikam. As a sidenote, appearance should allow the keyboard focus to be in corresponding panel right after and eventually allow the user to configure the shortcut in the corresponding settings. Else F10/F11 would be nice default. Reproducible: Always
Shortcuts are fine, but which tab to display on left and right when none have been selected by user (with mouse for ex) since digiKam session ? Gilles Caulier
As a personal opinon, I would the say the first one as a default with the focus if possible on the corresponding list so user can easily switch to another. In my experience, digikam doesn't offer the right tab by default (here "second-level" tab: mainly, when right panel unvisible, if asking for Tags > More Tags, I get the right panel with title/description tab) Another option would be last used tab but it will depend a lot on user preference, some will prefer first tab. More laborious would to have a setting for in Configure shortcuts: panel left/right > default tab > shortcut After, some of the left panel tabs already have a shorcut option (advanced search, search on map, ...). There is nothing for right panel. AFAIC, I would choose Albums for left and Edit legend/tags because that's what I used the most, but it depends on user ...
