feature: Allow toggle (hide/show) of panes outside of the viewport

[hadronized]

Both bar should be allowed to be hidden, potentially even dynamically (my workflow in tmux relies a lot on hiding the statusbar to use all the screen estate).

I will have a look and try to come up with PR to fix this.

Hello @phaazon, thank you for taking the time in writing this issue!

Currently if you choose to load a layout that doesn't load the default plugins, they won't be loaded.

That doesn't change the fact that it would be great if we could toggle the view that is outside the general tab pane dynamically, it is something we wanted to have for quite some time - which I think recently makes more sense implementing.

For anyone that picks this up:

I think we should be able to toggle the view of the surroundings of the general tab, so ToggleView: Top, ToggleView: Bottom, ToggleView: Right, ToggleView: Left.

So for a little bit more context.
If we fullscreen a pane, it is inside of the tab boundary.
We want to be able to toggle the things surrounding this boundary.

Could I add idea for this? I have small screen at this moment and any pixel is life important. In sway/i3 windows manager I can see system bar pressing key (in my case mod4) and after toggle with key, this bar is on layer above apps on screen (top layer). Would be in future option to have mode starting "naked" like normal session in any terminal and after key combination (let say alt+y) in zellij it will show two bars we have (top and bottom) in layer above zellij window (so that both panels would cover the window fragments, obscuring the contents) and then we could normally use and see active mode/option (like ctrl+p show option for panes and ctrl+t for tabs) and pressing again the same key combination (alt+y) will hide everything again.

Is this still a thing? I'd love to see this implemented and if I knew Rust I'd take a crack at it but I don't know Rust unfortunately. It would be so nice to be able to run terminal apps, like (N)Vim for instance, in full screen and regain all that screen real estate.

This is going to be very helpful. When looking at Zellij, that is the first thing I was looking for, and unfortunately this seems not possible.

That said, thanks for the project. It is great.

Once this is added zellij will be perfect and I will uninstall tmux.
