I prefer to use keyboard bindings when I can. One binding I haven’t been able to figure out is closing the REPL pane (I think it is called a pane but I could be wrong). I can do it with the mouse by clicking on the down arrow in the semicircle above the name REPL. Once it is closed you can open it again with -J -O.

Similarly -9 opens the git pane to the right but I can only close it by hovering around the boundary until the right-arrow in a semi-circle appears.

Can someone help me expand my Atom knowledge?

You’re almost correct – the REPL is an item in a pane, which itself sits in a _dock_. As such, you can use the `Window: Toggle Bottom Dock` and `Window: Toggle Right Dock` commands for that.  
Arguably, `Ctrl-J Ctrl-O` should hide the dock if the REPL is focussed, but I’m not 100% that’s desireable.

Thanks. Is there a way to bind a shortcut to `Window: Toggle Bottom`?

Got here through Google with no answer to be found.  
After looking around some more and getting a better understanding of how Atom/Juno key bindings works, I found what I needed. I’ll leave it here for people in the future.

[https://github.com/akonwi/git-plus/issues/705](https://github.com/akonwi/git-plus/issues/705)

The detailed instructions are:  
`ctrl+shift+p` will drop down Atom’s command palette. From there, search for `Keymap` and select the option `Application: Open Your Keymap`.

With your keymap config file open you can follow the instructions outlined in the Issue above and simply paste the following to the end of the file.

```julia
'atom-workspace':
	'ctrl-)': 'window:toggle-bottom-dock'

```

Saving the file will cause Atom/Juno to instantly reload your bindings and you’re good to go.
