Suggested feature: hide/show 2nd lister pane

I realize it may be late in the game, but I wonder if others would appreciate the ability to hide and show the 2nd pane? In other words, for compact operation, I'd mostly use a single list pane (with tree). But occasionally I would switch on a 2nd pane for easier mass copying to another folder.
Anyone else like this idea?

Hello !
• This topic has been discussed many times already, please use the Search, you'll find a bunch of threads about this…
¤ Aside : From my own point of view, it's much easier to pack using the two panels than the tree and one panel…
Forget Win Explorer…

Agree with Clo unconditionally on this question:
We love T.C. so much, because
it is not like Windows Explorer and because
it always displays two panels side by side.

If you press CTRL while moving the file panel separator, it will snap to the positions 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. So you can 'hide' the left or right panel by setting the separator to 0/100%.
Maybe this is feasible for you, at least if you don't switch between one/two panels very often.
Internal commands for setting the separator position (like cm_0percent, cm_20percent,...) were already requested, I still hope they will be implemented one time. With these you could easily switch between certain splitter positions with keyboard shortcuts.
But I totally agree with Clo and Karlchen about the two panels, I won't want to miss this kind of 'philosophy' anymore since I got used to it when working with ol' NC back in these days...

Change the filewindow -panel to 0% / 100%
Menu: Configuration - Save Position

Quickview:
Change the quickview -panel to 100% / 0%
Configuration - Save Position
Single panel commander, Ctrl + Q open a fullsized quickview. How boringly...
Use the command:
cm_50Percent=909;Window separator at 50%
for to show both panels again in 50% / 50%
(You can also doubleclick on the file splitter to achieve this in v7.)

Correct.
