✨ Hide Interface

[austincondiff]

Description

Provide an option to hide the interface similar to Sketch.

It would be in View → Hide Interface ("Show Interface" if hidden) and the keyboard shortcut might be ⌘ ..

If the interface is hidden...

• the toolbar would shrink (removing all toolbar items and title will be the current active file)
• the navigator and inspector sidebars will hide
• the status bar will hide (floating line and character position indicator will appear at the bottom right)
• the utility area drawer will hide
• in the View menu
  • "Hide Interface" will become "Show Interface"
  • "Hide Navigator Area" will become "Show Navigator Area"
  • "Hide Inspector Area" will become "Show Inspector Area"
  • "Hide Utility Area" will become "Show Utility Area"
  • "Hide Path Bar" will become "Show Path Bar"
  • "Hide Tab Bar" will become "Show Tab Bar"
  • "Hide Status Bar" will become "Show Status Bar"

If showing any UI element while hiding interface, hide Interface will continue to be enabled while the element is shown. When showing interface and hiding again, everything will be hidden again. The user would need to show all elements before hide interface would be disabled.

Note

Toggling this will only apply to the workspace in focus

Alternatives Considered

This might be a good way to handle single file mode by enabling hide interface by default when single files are open.

Additional Context

Xcode does this when opening a single file...

Hi,

Sure I can assign it to you. Although this is market "Good first issue", I personally think it does require quite some know how about Swift and macOS API's. But you're always free to try it.

But I recommend joining our Discord and join our weekly meetings so you can share your progress

Please note, I've added a "Blocked By" section to the issue description. We may want to look at those so we can hide/show everything mentioned above.
