Have control for showing/hiding info panel *on* the panel

[MrAnalogy]

Great pogram, overall.

One thing that drives me crazy on a daily basis is having the info panel popup up on the bottom (say from searching) and then not knowing how to turn it off.

Firstly, it's counterinutive (to me at least) that it's under Window instead of View. So, it takes me forever to find it each time ;-)

Secondly, it wuld be far more intuitive to have a HideMe button right on the panel because it's less clicking, the optin is hidden from the UI when it's not needed. Thus, implementing this feature would actually make the UI simpler (always important when an app has so many features)

A less invasive solution is to have a HIDE PANEL option in the right click menu.

Single-clicking the status bar will toggle the info panel on and off.

Or set your own shortcut key for toggling panel (default key for info panel toggle is F12).

Press Ctrl+F once to bring up the find function in the panel.

Press Ctrl+F again to hide it...
