Dupe Check

Describe the solution you'd like?

I would love to see a feature in Warp that allows users to dynamically hide, show, or minimize the active terminal pane with a simple keyboard shortcut or a command. This would improve workspace organization and reduce visual clutter while working with multiple terminal panes.

The functionality could be implemented as follows:
1. Hide/Show Terminal Pane: A keyboard shortcut to toggle between hiding and showing the active terminal pane.
2. Minimize Terminal Pane: A separate option to shrink the active terminal pane into a smaller dock-like area, much like the behavior of plugins like vim-zoom in Vim.
3. Restore to Original Size: Another shortcut to quickly restore the terminal pane to its previous size after minimizing it.

For example, shortcuts like Cmd+Shift+M or Ctrl+Shift+M could toggle minimize/restore, while Cmd+Shift+H could toggle hide/show.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As someone who works extensively in terminals with multiple panes open, the current lack of a way to quickly declutter or focus on a specific pane can be frustrating. Manually resizing panes or switching tabs interrupts my workflow and reduces productivity.

I often need to refer to other applications or terminal windows while working. Having a way to quickly hide or minimize the terminal (and restore it) would make multitasking significantly smoother.

Additional context

This feature could be visually elegant as well—when a pane is minimized, it could slide into a dock-like bar at the bottom or side of the terminal window. Hovering over the minimized pane or pressing a shortcut could preview its contents temporarily.

If implemented, this feature would be a game-changer for users who need more control over their terminal layout without sacrificing accessibility or speed.

How important is this feature to you?
