Thanks for the patch!

I see that such a feature can be useful in some situations, but I'm not sure if it will really be useful enough to justify its inclusion in Dolphin.

At many situation, I just want to quickly hide all those panels to have a better control over the content and make them reappear again with just one quick shortcut. At the moment, there only solution is to use all the F4, F7, F9, and F11 individually to achieve this which is a very inefficient and irritating solution.

The mechanism I'm looking for is that Dolphin saves the visibility of current panels, hide them when the assigned key (e.g. ESC) is pressed, and make EXACTLY the same previously shown panels to reappear again when ESC is pressed. A similar (yet simpler) solution exist in Nemo (Cinommon's file manager).
