Describe the feature

Hi,
there is a feature I would like to have for my workflow. I was wondering if it's possible to have a global window that we can toggle with a key combo. Like the ZoomIn and ZoomOut feature, but instead of being for the current active window, it's a global window. It means, we could have a our code open and when we want to run it, we can toggle that global window that lays over like the ZoomIn with a terminal or more tabs. I'm coding on a 13inch laptop and have a terminal open takes a lot of space. I saw something that look along those lines on the website main feature page, but it changed since then.

I also want to add that I am absolutely in love with Zed. I'm coming from neovim and vscode. I got an epic project to work on, an awesome new laptop and an epic code editor.

Thanks!

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Let me see if I understand. You're looking for some way to have a single-window optimized view because you're working on a small 13inch display Not quite sure I follow the zoom-in/zoom-out / global analogy. Could you try and explain further?

How is this different from dragging a terminal to the top tab bar and hiding the left sidebar (ctrl-b / cmd-b) and having everything in the same main pane?

What I mean is a floating terminal or window like this! So similar style of the ZoomIn

There was a section on the Website named Dock which gave me the impression that what it was. The website got updated recently and removed that section.

I decided to update the keybindings and add this to the editor context
"ctrl-j": "workspace::ToggleBottomDock"

Found a trick where the dock keep the ZoomIn state so I can achieve what I was looking for with the bottom dock zoom in combo

I will close the issue, but the idea of a floating global window can still be interesting!
