Dear all,

to maximize screen space, especially during workouts, I have added shortcuts to toggle the sidebars and panels:

I understand that the selected keys may not be typical for this use case, but I chose them to eliminate the need for modifier keys during workouts. Once we reach an agreement on the solution, I'll create a PR.

This would really suit me, I use a laptop on my trainer with limited vertical space. Being able to toggle the Intensity and workout control panel with a function key after starting a workout would be great.

Currently it is possible to auto-hide the Intensity and workout control panel on workout start, there is a checkbox on Train settings.

I think it would be ok, personally I would prefer to use the upper Fx since they are physically more aligned to the toolbar buttons, but I have no better reasons.

Thanks Ale. I will give that a go and see how i manage with the +, - and spacebar keys. Was the empty page https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Special-Topics_Train-Mode-Controller-Keys intended for these (and other) mapped keys or the on screen controls.

This could be problematic, I don't think those keys work when the Intensity and workout control panel is hidden. I used auto-hide but with Computrainer controller and it also should work with a remote control, but keyboard shortcuts is

That is a dangling reference, overview pages are a PITA to maintain, updated info is in FAQs: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-TRAIN#can-i-use-the-keyboard-to-control-the-train-session, remote control options are also there.

I saw the info in that FAQ, any objection to me adding a reference to the FAQ in UG_Special-Topics_Train-Mode-Controller-Keys just so it's not left dangling.

I prefer to avoid duplications as much as possible for easy of maintenance, so I just removed the dangling reference.

You are correct, those keys don't work when the Intensity and workout control panel is hidden. The proposal by Joachim will be a good solution.
