Hi,

I have a small feature request: Provide a toggle to hide the List view and Tree view panels when not needed (ie provide a minimal UI mode).

When I am doing some task, I usually have a lot of windows open. Its nice to be able to put each application in a minimal UI mode so that you have more screen space.

I would like to be able to just have a minimal keepnote editor window open for reference or taking notes. Other Popular Notetaking Programs (TM) have a similar feature which I have found very useful.

Attached is a hack-y demonstration patch which implements the feature by changing how the "three_pane_viewer.py:set_view_mode()" function rebuilds the UI window. It adds a new menu entry to toggle the minimal UI mode. This patch is good enough for my purposes, but it causes some GTK warnings to happen and there is likely a much more proper way of making this change.

Feel free to close this issue whenever, and thanks for the great software!

This is very interesting. I do plan to make multiple kinds of "views" (three pane, two pane, one pane, calendar, etc). Thanks for the feedback.

Almost seven months passed, any words on the "views?"

Maybe you can make it an extension? I don't know if it's possible, though Developer Notes 1 mentions UI. Haven't read any source code, the KeepNote and existing extensions 2. Perhaps, it can't be done by extension so you submit a patch.

Anyway, I would really want to see this feature in KeepNote, same reason as you have.
