Thanks, didn't know of that behaviour of the tab key. But still, it is not exactly what i meant. Let's say you organize our desktop like that to keep the most space for drawing: http://ministeyr.free.fr/images/gimp1.png Then on a simple keypress (let's say, tab), the hidden windows appear all at once, like that: http://ministeyr.free.fr/images/gimp2.png And on a simple keypress, they disappear once again and you come back to the first screenshot... The current behaviour of the tab key is not exactly that, it will sometimes make appear the toolbox, then it will select different tools in the toolbox, wich is not really needed (in that configuration, you'll get a tool faster with clicking once than pressing tab many times, or by using the specific tool key). Tab will sometimes make appear the other windows (tools options and such), and sometimes make everything disappear except from the image window. This is not predictable at all. Maybe there could be a simple Disappear on tab option to switch on or off for each window, and tab (or another key) would just switch beetween the displaying or not displaying of these windows, all at once. There is also the option of displaying all of the minimized windows when a specific key is held down, then re-minimizing them when the key is released. It is even more predictable, and easier to implement, since it doesn't need to keep track of wich windows should or should not be shown on key: only those minimized are shown. This is well adapted, i think, because often you don't need for the tools and tools option window for long, just the time to change some brush size or layer to work on. BTW, sorry for the late answer. The screenshots are low-res on purpose, to save bandwidth.

One line of scheme to call your python script won't increase the complexity appreciably. The problem is that if i have huge lists and complex python objects in my external scripts, and i want to access them in the gimp's python-fu script, i have to pass them through scheme, and thus it means converting back and forth. I will try to adapt with pickle if it works. If you want something better, why don't you contribute it? I would make a mess, since i'm not really a good programmer (plus i don't know anything about gimp's internal structure or python's...).

Well, i don't know if that is exactly what i meant, but i would still be grateful if you could give me the url to that document. Thanks.

Another solution is that you could just have some special key (to set up in the preferences) to pop up the minimized windows. For example you keep only the main toolbox and the image window above all, the other windows minimized (or in the background), and when you press ctrl it shows the tools options and the layers/channels window, in the exact position you left them before minimization, but above the image window. Then you just have to configure your tools or change your working layer, and when you release ctrl, those windows just get back to where they were before (minimized or in the background). Alternatively you could have the key toggle the displaying or not of those windows (instead of having to keep the key pressed, this is more suited for other keys, like the letters).

what os will you be using this on? carol I'm developping it for and under a Debian-testing system (on amd k7), and plan to use it possibly also on an Ubuntu Linux. I won't need windows support.
