[e4-dev] CodeFocus: a full-screen mode for Eclipse

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just posted the current version of one of my featured UI extensions for EclipseCon...CodeFocus (aka "Super Max").

Take a look at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427999 where there's info on getting this and kicking it around...

My only regret is that I had to make this as a per-perspective state due to issues surrounding Context chains (i.e. keeping keybindings happy...). It basically uses the new ability to override the SWT style bits on an MWindow to construct a 'Detached Window' for the perspective (so it's on the right context chain). Then we move *everything* from the active perspective into that new DW (including the associated trim stacks).

I encourage everybody to try this out and provide feedback on the defect...to me it seems to work great !

Onwards,
Eric
