I use KDevelop 2.x *every* day for development work, on my 1024x768 thinkpad. KDevelop 2.x has the wonderful option of assigning a keybinding to show/hide the bottom pane, the one which shows messages, konsole, debug stack etc. On my relatively small screen, that area takes up enough space to make writing code a pain, so I set a keyboard shortcut to show/hide it. This is wonderful, it makes my work much more convenient.

But gideon doesn't seem to have a shortcut for showing/hiding this area. Frankly, that's *almost* a dealbreaker, as it's a real pain to have to move the mouse to the active pane button and click it, just to get enough screenspace to see my code properly. Does that make me lazy? Yes! But KDevelop 2.x made this fast & easy, and gideon makes it slow.

So, that's all. I installed alpha 2 last night, and I'm eager to see if this has perhaps already been implemented. Until it is, however, I'll stick with kdevelop 2.x.

Otherwise -- good show. Gideon is shaping up wonderfully.
