iTerm2: How to expand split pane temporarily?

Is there a way to temporarily expand a split pane into full tab and go back again when done? I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to do so. The use case is to be able to temporarily switch to full-screen on demand.

The easiest way is to double click on the panel title, it will expand. Double click again to reduce it

  1. To maximize the active panel with full window, just Cmd + Shift + Enter.

  2. Then toggle fullscreen with Cmd + Enter.

(This also works in iTerm2 3.4 Integrate with tmux.)

You can maximise and minimise your current panel by using Cmd + Shift + Enter

There are a lot of hot keys to remember and when starting out it can be helpful to print out a cheat sheet or to scan the documentation with find in your browser.

For me, I cannot find menu section Preferences > Keys > Action > Select Menu Item > View > Maximize Active Pane

My workaround is right clicking on the pane, and select Move Session to Window and maximize that window.

We can then Move Session to Pane to move it back.
