Maximizing the ECB windows

To get a better overlook about the contents of a certain ECB-window every ECB-window can be "maximized", means all other ECB-windows are deleted so only the edit-window(s) and this maximized ECB-window are visible (and maybe a compile-window if active). There are several ways to do this:

• Via the popup-menus of the ECB-windows
• Via the main "ECB"-menu and here "Display window maximized"
• Via calling the adviced version of delete-other-windows¹ (bound to C-x 1) in one of the ECB windows.
• Via one of the commands ecb-maximize-window-directories, ecb-maximize-window-sources, ecb-maximize-window-methods, ecb-maximize-window-history or ecb-maximize-window-speedbar or the bound short-cuts for those commands.
• Via the new command ecb-cycle-maximized-ecb-buffers which cycles through all ecb-buffers of current layout by maximizing exactly one of the ecb-windows after every cycle-step.

Minimizing such a maximized ECB-window, i.e. bringing back to its original size, can simply be done by redrawing the layout via the command ecb-redraw-layout (bound to C-c . lr).
