Full Screen the Panel Under Mouse Pointer

One feature I miss coming from the Adobe world to Resolve, and one which is distinct from the flexible UI they provide, is the ability to, with a single keystroke, blow up any panel sitting under my mouse cursor to full screen. A second click of the same key returns it back to its proper place in the UI. It allows you to focus on an activity in those times when you need a little bit more screen real-estate. In Adobe's products, it's the tilde key. Want to work in the timeline full-screen? Hover the mouse over it and press tilde. Want to work in the keyframe editor full screen? Tilde. Want to work in the Media Cache full screen (who doesn't, right)? Tilde.

I think this would be incredibly easy to implement, definitely more so than a flex-UI, and potentially satisfy a lot of people calling for one. I know I'd be happy with just this and the current UI layout. Sometimes you just need to see things in a little bigger space.

As an example, I was just reading about the Magic Mask in the New Features document for v17, where it describes on pg 173 how "To delete tracking frames, draw a bounding box on the stroke tracks over the range you want to delete, and then choose Clear Selected Track Data from the Magic Mask option menu." I don't know about you, but that seems pretty much impossible to do on a 'frame' basis in that panel.

I STILL would very much like this ability in Resolve's UI. Not being able to resize some frames to "see more" is frustrating beyond belief. For example, I'm currently adding some comments to some timelines and files in the Media Pool, but I can expand the right side of that panel only a little bit, even if only the viewer is there and there are tons of grey background on either side of the actual image in the viewer. That's wasted real estate. I can, of course, scroll over to where Comments appears to enter my comment, all of about 10 words I can see before running out of room. (A Notes feature would be nice) I can also relocate the Comments column closer to the name field, but even doing that is difficult in this tiny window.

I often work in a single pane in Adobe apps, which all have this cool feature, and to be able to blow it up to full screen while doing so is AWESOME! Not being able to do so, not so much. Seems this would be easy to implement. This could work for Timelines, Viewers, Inspector, Effects, you name it. Who WOULDN'T like to have a full screen panel at times, all within a mouse point and key click?

Anybody else like to see this? Could it please be considered?

Good idea. Much easier than a fully customizable UI but gives a big boost of usability.
