I like to use SlickEdit's full screen mode. When I am in this mode and I want to open another file, I hit Ctrl+O and it opens the file open pane on the left side of the screen. Once I select the file that I want to open, this newly opened pane stays there -- spoiling my full screen mode. How do I close this pane without using the mouse? I was not able to find the command that closes the pane. (There is a command to open this pane; it's called gui-open.) There ought to be a way to close this pane with a user-configurable key binding.
I appreciate any help that you can extend to this newbie.
