Un-hide auto-hidden Panes by mouse click only

[Stefan]

Hi Alex,

The good:
you can automatically hide the fileexplorer and the output pane.

The Question:
Is it easily possible for you to add an optional option to un-hide auto-hidden panes with an left mouse click only?
Because auto-hidden panes every time appears if the mouse hoover over the button.
Which disturbs sometimes.

XML-setting would be enough.
What do you think.

Hi Stefan,

I would say that what you request is non-standard behavior.
It is designed to appear on mouse hover, like this is done in all other apps
Do you know some example application where it is done with mouse click only?
And maybe we can check why it disturbs you?

Best regards,
Alex.

Well, the idea is not bad, or may be it is better to use mouse gestures that were around in Windows for example to launch a screensaver, and there are tons of add-ons similar to AutioHotKey e.g. StrokeIt I used (http://shrinkify.com/1682) , but the popularity is so so. On the positive side you probably can use it as plug-in in HE to do these pane manipulations and more!

One other thing I would like to mention is that I do not like to reach out and dig into XML files for tweaking.
I just hate XML.

Upps   i didn't think on such.

No, and i didn't check this. It was just an idea.

And maybe we can check why it disturbs you?

It's just the panel suddenly appears if i take the mouse over the hidden pane button.
I mean even if i didn't want open the panes,... it's just my hand which goes that way
without my permission  

It's just to not let the pane get open every time you go to the left with the mouse.
So an opening delay would work for that issue  too.

I just tried <HoveringDelay>6000</HoveringDelay> without success  

Maybe smtg like
<HiddenPaneOpenDelay>4000<HiddenPaneOpenDelay>
and
<HiddenPaneCloseDelay>1000</HiddenPaneCloseDelay>
 is doable?

But only if some free time.

I think additional delay to open panel on hover and to close it on mouse leave also with delay is a good idea. And as far as I see from Visual Studio behavior, they do the same.
Yes, I would add this with new 1.46 beta, but probably not configurable but with some reasonable defaults to avoid unintentional opening

Fine, thank you.
