Accessing Panels in Focus Mode
All panels are still accessible — they're just hidden:

Ctrl+Shift+P) works normally - Script Search (
Ctrl+E) works normally - Hover the left edge of the window to temporarily reveal the sidebar
- Hover the top edge to temporarily reveal the full toolbar
Exiting Focus Mode
Press F11 again, or Esc, or Ctrl+Shift+P → Exit Focus Mode.
Focus Mode and the Result Panel
The Result panel stays visible in Focus Mode — it sits below the editor as usual. The WHERE and ORDER filter bars are also available.
If you open Row Detail (F4) while in Focus Mode, it opens as a floating overlay rather than pushing the editor left.
