Greetings
Is there a shortcut to hide all windows so that the drawing window fills the screen when we want to focus on drawing?

I don't think so, but it really would be a great feature. I use Sai paint tool to, mmh, paint and i love that shortcut. Never had tought it would be useful for as too.

If you open up the "Strings" file, located in your AS installation folder, with a text editor (like Notepad), you can set all of the windows to share the same show/hide shortcut. I just tested this to make sure.
I changed these lines:
Code: Select all
3142 "Tools "
3143 "Layers "
3144 "Timeline["
3145 "Style]"
To this:
Code: Select all
3142 "Tools]"
3143 "Layers]"
3144 "Timeline]"
3145 "Style]"
Saving these changes and restarting AS will now show/hide the tools, layers, timeline, and style windows by pressing Ctrl+]. But it's all or nothing doing it this way.
For some reason AS loses focus after I show/hide a few times. Not too big of a problem, and it may only be on PC.
