Quickly Resizing Panels

Great software, but it can always be better!
Sometimes you want to see more than what's visible inside an individual panel, in particular on a small laptop screen. And, to be honest, resizing individual panels with the mouse in MainType is a bit sluggish.
A feature that I've come to love in the Eclipse development platform is its ability to quickly maximize a separate panel by a simple double-click on the pane tab. Even better - a second double-click will restore the panel back to its original size and position.
Admittedly, most MainType panels doesn't have tabs, but there is a flat bar on top of each panel that would do just as well. Now, wouldn't that be a time saver?
