Make Sidekick panel resizable

[halohalospecial]

User should be able to drag the edge of the panel to resize it, similar to that of the linter's error panel.

PR welcome :-)

Yeah just hit that, when the cursor happens to hit near elm-mdl's Material.Tooltip call the sidekick becomes my entire screen, of which I accidentally clicked inside of, thus focusing the sidekick, thus I could not get it to go away without killing it via command. ^.^

I keep getting stuck in a state where I can't do anything because the sidekick is filling the entire screen due to a long doc. I then have to completely quit Atom, losing any unsaved work. Is there a key combo to close or disable the sidekick if this happens?

Setting the sidekick position to right instead of the default position of bottom makes it not fill the entire screen, but puts it in an inconvenient location. Of course having a resizable panel would be ideal - I'm just looking for a quickfix for this particular problem.

The same thing can happen with the sidekick at the right position, if you have record with a lot of fields.

A workaround is to use the keyboard shortcut for closing the current window: Ctrl+w in Windows and Linux, and Cmd+w on Mac.

Hi! You can do one of the ff:

• Execute Elmjutsu: Toggle Sidekick from the command palette.

• Bind elmjutsu:toggle-sidekick to a key combo in your ~/.atom/keymap.cson. For example:

  'atom-workspace':
  'f1': 'elmjutsu:toggle-sidekick'

• Configure Sidekick Size in the package settings so that the height (or width) will remain constant.

Hi. All of those options are good. Thanks for the help!

Perhaps it could be turned into a Dock?

Great idea, @gampleman !
