Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
Docks taking to much space especially if you use smaller monitors or half of an monitor. Closing the docks and reopening them seems very cumbersome.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:
Instead of closing the docks completely, it would be nicer to collapse/expand the panels via clicking on the text "Inspector/Node/Scene/etc" or clicking on a small button which represents this dock.
This idea is oriented onto the current workflow of IntelliJ / Android Studio.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams:
Clicking "Inspector" on top right to open the whole Inspector panel
Clicking "Inspector" again to collapse/hide the whole Inspector panel
each dock / side panel can be expanded/collapsed individually
Unsure about the implementation in the Engine (no experience with that so far).
Maybe it's possible to use the current existing close/open functions and make them connected to some buttons in the UI, which represents the panels. Benefits:
more user friendly usage of the panels
more space for Code / Scene, especially if using smaller monitors / half monitor
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:
It's a Quality of Life (QoL) proposal, alternative is to use the close / open functions via Editor -> Editor Docks or create custom shortcuts for each dock.
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:
It would be much nicer if this was a core implementation. Unaware how easy it would be to create this as an asset library.
