Is there a way to quickly maximize (and then restore) Visual Studio 2010 panels? For instance, I'd like to temporarily maximize the Output window or unit test results window. In Eclipse, I would just double-click the window tab, but in VS, this undocks the window.
The desired behavior is: double-click to maximize the window, then double-click it again to restore the panel to its original position.
To get the maximum bit of screen real estate available, you can put your Visual Studio edit window in full-screen mode by selecting View | Full screen (or just pressing Shift+Alt+Enter).
You can adjust the Zoom level in VS Code with the View > Appearance > Zoom commands. The zoom level increases or decreases by 20% each time a Zoom command is executed. View > Appearance > Zoom In (Ctrl+=) - increase the Zoom level. View > Appearance > Zoom Out (Ctrl+-) - decrease the Zoom level.
You can use Shift + Esc to close any tool window. to bring a tool window you can use the shortcuts like Ctrl+W ...
Use this keyboard shortcut: Shift-Alt-Enter It will maximize your current panel similar to Eclipse, but it will use the full screen unfortunately, not just the whole Visual Studio window. I prefer the way Eclipse does it, but this does help in Visual Studio land.
