Working on small screens

When working on a small laptop screen, you might want to maximize the amount of canvas available.

For this reason the UI elements panel and boards panel can both be toggled on and off using the mouse or keyboard.

The keyboard shortcuts for toggling them are listed here:

  • UI elements panel: CTRL+L
  • Boards panel: CTRL+J

Note that you can still add UI elements to the board when the UI elements panel is hidden using search.
