naatan / komodo-autotogglepanes Goto Github PK

I like to use Komodo without any panes or tabs showing - just the editor. Normally I would use keybindings to toggle the relevant panes when I need them but I wanted something more intuitive; so I wrote this macro.

Basically what this does is it shows/hides the relevant pane/tabs when you move your mouse cursor towards them. While editing your mouse cursor can rest somewhere centered on the editor, then when you want to access eg. the left pane you move your mouse cursor to the left editor edge and the left pane will automatically show itself.

There are some caveats to consider that I'd still like to work out as much as possible (pull requests welcome)

• You might be trying to position your cursor to select some text in the editor and in doing so accidentally trigger a pane
• Currently when you move your cursor off Komodo entirely panes will open from the side where your mouse left the application (not an issue if you work with Komodo maximized)
• Probabably more that I haven't ran in to yet

There are a few preferences that you can tweak to your liking, you can set these with ko.prefs.setLong(pref,value) or ko.prefs.setBoolean(pref,value)

• autoTogglePaneHotspotSizeLeft
• autoTogglePaneHotspotSizeRight
• autoTogglePaneHotspotSizeTop
• autoTogglePaneHotspotSizeBottom
• autoTogglePaneDelay (in ms, don't set this too low as it can make your UI jumpy)
• toggleTopPane true/false, whether to enable toggling this pane
• toggleBottomPane true/false, whether to enable toggling this pane
• toggleRightPane true/false, whether to enable toggling this pane
• toggleLeftPane true/false, whether to enable toggling this pane
