When working with indexes sometimes the main panel is simply not needed.

    You already can collapse main panel using horizontal splitter. Isn't that enough?

    It would be sufficient if it works consistentlyand is somehow documented. At the moment I got semi-random results. Sometimes the main panel is hidden completely (does this depend on the speed of the mouse movement?), sometimes it is just moved. When hidden, it is not clear how to restore.

    I believe this is a standard GUI feature in most OS.

    What doesn't work and in which OS? There is a certain (minimal) width at which the resizing stops (to avoid accidental resizing to 0) buf it you continue resizing, it will finally collapse. This minimal size stop can probably be disabled.

    Restoring collapsed view requires grabbing the handle between left and right panel - it should be visible in each OS, although I don't remember how it looks in Windows/Linux.

    Debian stretch, Gnome 3. It works but incosistently. Is there some official documentation? Some time next week I can demonstrate the problem with Skype screen sharing.
