VS Code: How to hide the bottom panel, no matter which tab I'm on?

Visual Studio-Code

Visual Studio-Code Problem Overview

I've found shortcuts to show/hide Problems (Cmd+Shift+M) or Output (Cmd+Shift+U), but these require two button presses to hide the bottom pane if it's not currently on those respective tabs.

How can I hide and show the bottom panel with a single button press, regardless of which tab is currently active? Similar functionality as Cmd+B, which hides the left-hand bar no matter whether Explorer, Debug etc. is active.

By default in VSCode Ctrl/Cmd+J shows and hides the Panel, no matter which one you are focused on.

Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code

Not a direct answer to your question, but if you're only interested in hiding the bottom panel then you can just hit either of these shortcuts twice: (i.e. Cmd+Shift+M+M) once to take you to that panel, the second to hide that panel.

Solution 3 - Visual Studio-Code

ctrl + `

This shortcut is responsible for showing/hiding the bottom panel that contains terminal, debug, output, etc.
