Never hide project tool window/Hide only button tool window
Answered
Hi,
Is there any option where I could just hide the visible bottom tool window? The described functionality comes from QtCreator. Esc button by default always minimizes any displayed bottom tool window and never side one.

Shift+Esc closes the tool window, Esc just brings the focus back to the editor.
How does that help? :| OK, let me edit the question (deleting the first part).
Could you please attach a screenshot to clarify your problem? What is button editor?
Crap, so sorry I misspelled it .. I meant bottom tool window! Here is the screenshot of side ("Project" by default) side tool window hidden with bottom one ("Run") being displayed. I've seen that you can explicitly hide side tool windows. It would be nice if same existed for the bottom ones.
PS: Fixed the question. So sorry once again.
You can make it pinned, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-modes.html#pinned.
It is pinned. It still closes if I do "Hide Active Tool Window" which is mapped to the Esc key.
Oh, I see. I'm afraid, you can't override the Hide action for any specific tool window so that it ignores it.
What about having/creating a "Hide Bottom Tool Window" feature? It would make sense if "Hide Side Tool Windows" exists.
Feature request is welcome at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA or you can create a plug-in for that.
By the way, maybe another feature will work for you? See here https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/manipulating-the-tool-windows.html#manage. This way you can store the layout with all the tool windows hidden except the bottom one and then restore this layout when needed using the keyboard shortcut.
Awesome, that did the trick! Thank you so much!
