Research direction
The issue requests a fullscreen mode for panels, currently only tiled or floating. Review the panel management code in Cutter's UI, likely in files like `src/widgets/PanelWidget.cpp` or similar. Look for how panels are created and toggled, and add a button or keybinding to maximize a panel to full window. Check existing keybinding infrastructure in `src/common/Shortcuts.cpp` for adding new shortcuts. Ensure the implementation respects the current layout modes.
