Hi,  
I’m trying Piny on a 13” MacBook. My problem: When I press “cmd + y” Piny is opened in a split pane - and it’s very hard to use.

I made Piny using a full tab (in this case Piny works great!) but as soon as I click an element in the tree a new split pane is opened.

Is there any way to avoid this behaviour and make Piny using a full tab? In the settings I didn’t find anything that would help

Thanks for your support

Boris

Hi @boris1ab

Have you tried opening Piny in its own window.

Right click on the Piny Tab → Move into New Window
