I’m just curious if there’s a way to show the panel using a touchscreen device
I don’t have a touch device anymore to verify this, but if I recall correctly, you should be able to swipe an auto-hide panel into being visible using a single-finger edge swipe gesture.
Hi! I just checked on my wife’s personal laptop with a touchscreen, and swiping up with one finger, from the bottom edge of the screen, does cause an auto-hidden panel to show. I’d guess that things would work the same way on a dedicated tablet-style device as well
