Change Request to move "Panes" submenu to a main top-level menu (perhaps "Panes" or "Windows") #64

I VERY frequently use the Panes menu to hide or show various tools within the Spyer IDE.

If I work on high-resolution screens it can be challenging to select the various components.

An alternative to this menu restructuring would be a toolbar dedicated to this. I am just learning the keyboard shortcuts, but there are many to remember, so a toolbar would help.

At a minimum having an Alt-View-Panes keyboard command option is a quick fix. Right now the View..."Pane" submenu does not have an Alt key selector in Windows 10.

Hey @richdevboston, thanks for reporting. I'm going to move this issue to the repository where we have user interface discussions. We'll see what we can do about it.
