Re: [ jEdit-users ] Split expansion up/down arrows

[Shlomy R. <sre...@gm...>]

Hi,

This feature is not implemented in jEdit nor in any of the plugins, it's a
Java/Swing feature.
You can control the expansion by typing Java statements in the Console
plugin, using the BeanShell console:

To maximize the current pane, use:
BeanShell> editPane.getParent().setDividerLocation(0.0)

(or maybe 1.0, depending on where the pane is located)

To restore the previous layout, use:
BeanShell> editPane.getParent().resetToPreferredSizes()

If you want to have keyboard shortcuts, you can record each of the
statements in a macro using the macro recorder, and then bind shortcuts to
the macros.

I hope this helps.
