The user should be able to zoom a pane, to make the pane take the entire size of the terminal window temporarily. Pressing the shortcut again on a zoomed pane will return to the unzoomed state

Okay so one of the outstanding questions with this feature - how do we indicate to the user visually that the tab has a zoomed pane?

tmux does it with a Z in the window title:

I've heard it suggested that maybe we should manually enable the focus border around all the edges of the window. Personally, I hate that.
 

Maybe if we stuck this icon in the TabViewItem:

image E8A3 ZoomIn

we could either:

  • replace the tab's icon with the ZoomIn icon
  • Insert the ZoomIn icon at the start of the tab's name

Thoughts?

Proof-of-concept:

zoom-pane-000

Need to document some methods and add comments throughout, but this is what we discussed in our team sync today. Note that the zooming takes a while because it's resizing and this is a debug build, so resizing is S L O W
