Resize panel groups

To quickly maximize a panel beneath the pointer, press the ` (accent grave) key. (The accent grave is the unshifted character under the tilde, ~, on standard US keyboards.) Press the key again to return the panel to its original size.

When you drag the divider between panel groups, all groups that share the divider are resized.

  1. Do either of the following:

    • To resize either horizontally or vertically, position the pointer between two panel groups. The pointer becomes a double arrow .

    • To resize in both directions at once, position the pointer at the intersection between three or more panel groups. The pointer becomes a four‑way arrow .

  2. Hold down the mouse button, and drag to resize the panel groups.
