In PlanSwift I normally operate with a template open in the right side panel, but I have it hidden/collapsed during most of the takeoff process. Since PS has the button/bar extending from top to bottom on the side panels, I can whip my mouse pointer anywhere to the side of my rightmost monitor and quickly pop the template open. Starting a takeoff immediately hides the panel again, thus maximizing viewing area.
The "Toggle Sidebars" hotkey doesn't really do what I'm after, since it operates both sidebars. Also, using the hotkey causes the viewable area to jog left/right annoyingly.
Hey John! In the next update, we are adding customizable hot keys for the sidebars. I’ll also mention the shifting to the team.
I’ll mention it to the dev team. Maybe it could be a setting of some sort.
👍1Another thing, you can use the Space hotkey to bring up the quick search for takeoffs/templates and leave the sidebars collapsed all the time. You can also use the hotkey “P” to bring up the pages if you have the pages sidebar collapsed.
🔥1@lorin I like the Space hotkey for finding takeoffs, but there's one workflow I'm missing. Could we add Right Click > Add to Takeoffs in Quick Search?
Sometimes I'm just trying to stack my Takeoffs tab, and it gets a little clunky. Same with the Templates tab. When I add a template to Takeoffs, it automatically switches me to the Takeoffs tab instead of letting me continue adding more. I know popping out the tab trick, but not my favorite workaround.
👍1If I may add, it would be really nice being able to resize the windows for these hotkeys and having it remember the last size used.
