ZEN-1486 compact mode hard to use while windowed

poeck commented 5 days ago

For now, I believe the best approach is to implement shortcuts for toggling the sidebar and topbar when in windowed mode.

In my opinion, it would be great to introduce a preference option that, when enabled, automatically disables compact mode when switching to windowed mode and re-enables it when returning to fullscreen.

I mostly use compact mode to have floating media windows with reduced chrome, so I fully disagree.

A bigger trigger zone also would simply make the top of the page (therefore most navigation bars) unusable, Right now I use the toggle-toolbar shortcut and it works fine.
