    I was trying to get a maximum view of my code within the UE window.

    So I right-clicked and hid the toolbars.

    Now I can't figure out how to make them come back - right-clicking at various places doesn't bring up the toolbar display options, and I can't find them in the menus.

    How can I redisplay my toolbars?
    [EDIT - Fixed this: It's View --> View/Lists --> Toolbars --> ...]
    [EDIT - my second question still stands though:]

    Second question: is there a fast way to get maximum view of my code? What it is is that:
    - I'm on a small single display screen
    - I have the text files I'm analysing in one window
    - I have UE open in another window, and I want to tile my windows to view both at the same time (so UE's "full screen view" isn't appropriate to me because then it's the only thing I can see, and my text files window is hidden)
    - What I would like is something like the "full screen view" but in a resizeable window, then I can resize to my heart's content

      Got German version here only. View menu, 3rd last entry: View full screen or so.
      This is only visible if you have switched to advanced menu.
      Therefore right click on the menu.

        Hi Bego,

        In my original post I explained, "and I want to tile my windows to view both [the UE window and the other window] at the same time (so UE's "full screen view" isn't appropriate to me because then it's the only thing I can see, and my text files window is hidden)"

          Ah, sorry, have overlooked that.
          No. Only one full view windows is yet possible.
          I think you have to write a feature request to IDM.

            Have you already disabled everything you don't really need when you want to see as much as code?

            Disable all special views and lists, disable the ruler with View - Display Ruler and disable the line numbers view with View - Display Line Numbers. In the configuration dialog disable code folding at Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Code Folding and uncheck also Enable show/hide lines for non syntax highlighted files, change the bookmark style to Pre-version 11 bookmark style or newer name Highlight entire line at Configuration - Editor - Bookmarks. Now you have full width for your code.

            To increase the height for your code, disable the open file tabs and the toolbars or use a single line toolbar (Basic toolbar or a customized personal toolbar like I do) with small buttons (icons).

            Nearly everything you can change via the menus can be done also with a hot key for fast enable/disable.

            But there is no "full screen in current window" option. Switching to print preview could maybe helpful here when you don't need to edit your code.

              Thanks, I think the answer lies in what you said, "Nearly everything you can change via the menus can be done also with a hot key for fast enable/disable."

              For me, the useful ones to disable (and later re-enable) are the height ones:
              - status bar
              - toolbars
              - filetabs

              I can disable/enable those from the menus, so I just need to set up each using hotkeys, then I'd just do something like:
              Alt-POI
              to disable it all
