Display any panel full-screen
You can expand any panel to display it in full-screen mode, and toggle back to normal view. You can do so with the current panel in focus or the
panel you are hovering over with your mouse. In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, do the following.
1. Hover your mouse over the panel you want to maximize.
2. Press the accent key (`). Typically, this key lies just to the left of the numeral one (1) key. Some see this key as the back quote key, or the
tilde key. Press the accent key once more to restore the panel size.
In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, to maximize a selected panel you can choose Window > Maximize Frame. To restore the panel
size, choose Window > Restore Frame Size. You can also press Shift+accent to maximize the panel size of a selected panel. Press the
accent key to toggle the panel size of a panel you are hovering over with the mouse.
Note: When Adobe Premiere Pro is installed on a computer with a non-U.S. keyboard, the Maximize Or Restore Frame Under Cursor
command might be mapped to a key other than the accent key. The key for Maximize Or Restore Frame Under Cursor (and its counterpart,
Maximize or Restore Active Frame) is listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. To find it, select the Adobe Premiere Pro Defaults set.
Then, select Application from the menu. Scroll down past the Help heading to Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor and set the most
appropriate keyboard shortcut.

menu.
Display context and panel menus
In addition to choosing from the menus at the top of your screen, you can choose from context menus, which display commands relative to the
active tool or selected item. Panel menus display commands relative to the active panel.
To display panel menus, click the button
in the upper-right corner of the panel.
To display context menus, right-click a panel.
Tools panel and Options panel
When you open the Options panel, it opens by default in the horizontal docking area running just under the menu bar, forming the Options bar.
You can undock, move, and redock the Options panel like any other panel. By default, the Options panel contains a menu of workspaces and a
