Fullscreen for individual panels

Adobe Premiere recently introduced this feature and is very very useful.
You can choose any panel and make it fullscreen.
It's very handy when you have a massive timeline with a lot of tracks and you want to move things around.

If you have multiple monitors, there is a Full Screen Timeline layout on the Edit page.

I know that's not ideal for single-monitor setups, but there's a workaround for a similar feature request on Windows: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=170774&p=1133124

That feature has been pretty much always around in both Premiere and After Effects and is one of the best parts of a stellar UI system.

Say what you will about Adobe as a company, and I'll agree with all of it, but their panel-based UI is a thing of absolute beauty - it's effortless to customise, allows incredible flexibility and is extremely intuitive to use.

BMD has inherited a ton of legacy UI with Resolve that was designed for now-irrelevant hardware, that they need to eventually overcome and introduce modern, sensible UI paradigms. Dicking around with the Media Pool columns in that cramped space, needing to constantly scroll and resize the panel is a classic example of UX gone wild. In Ae, I hit ` and I can see everything I need to, instantly.
