Description Uwe Krause 2024-01-23 21:28:57 UTC
SUMMARY
Yakuake can't maximize the current split view.

Yakuake has split views, which are the same as Konsole split views.
(Taken from "Konsolepart"? I have no experience with KDE development)

For Konsole it is possible to maximize the current view:
>View → Split View → Toggle maximize current view (Ctrl+Shift+E)
>Toggles the current view between current size and the maximize size
[The Konsole Handbook](https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/konsole/konsole/konsole.pdf)

This is not possible with Yakuake.
The list of key bindings lists "Split View Left-Right" and "Split View Top-Bottom", but nothing to maximize the view.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Validate desired behavior with Terminal:
1. Open Konsole
2. Split view - Right mouse button → "Split View" → "Split View Left-Right" or Default key binding: Ctrl+(
3. Maximize View - Button "Maximize terminal" or Default key binding: Ctrl+E

Validate behavior not working with Yakuake
1. Open Yakuake
2. Split View - Default key binding: Ctrl+(
3. Try to maximize current view: not possible.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
konsole 23.08.4
yakuake 23.08.4
plasmashell 5.27.10


Similar tickets, but (in my opinion) not duplicates:
[193033] - First part of the ticket would be duplicate, but second part of the ticket wishes for more than this.
[320548] - Probably, to be fair, is a duplicate, but ticket has poor description.

I endorse this request. I was just about to open this very same issue, but I notized Uwe did it first a few days ago. 

I'm a hardcore user of yakuake since more than a decade, and I always missed this functionality. My coworkers are using terminator o even tmux because those can maximize the split view and restore it back.

Now konsole can do it, how hard should be to implement it on yakuake?
