Hello

Once again : many thanks for this fantastic IDE !

Could you tell us what are the Expert mode and the Debug mode in the Tools/Options .../General ?
I checked them but didn't see any difference

Hi!

In "Expert mode" Thonny allows maximizing views (eg. Shell or editor) by double-clicking on its tab. Also it allows full-screen mode by pressing F11. You can get out of full screen by pressing F11 again and out of maximized view by pressing Esc. These features are meant for teachers to get more screen space during presentations and disabled by default so that students don't get accidentally trapped into maximized tab or full screen.

Also, Expert mode enables "Tools => Open replayer", which can be used for replaying the logs in ~/.thonny/user_logs

Debug mode just adds some more diagnostic output to Thonny's stdout and logs.

best regards
Aivar
