Description

PROBLEM:

  • Currently, the "In this video" panel opens automatically when we toggle the 'chapters' or 'transcript' on in the Appearence > Sidebar. That's good but it STAYS open when going full screen, which I find very annoying.
  • The shortcuts for chapters and transcript are not toggle switches, they only show the panel but don't hide it.

SOLUTION:
Add option to not show it automatically in fullscreen.

ALTERNATIVES:
Allow the existing chapter/transcript shortcuts to hide the panel.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

"SIDE EFFECTS":
Not sure

CONTEXT:
This happens in Firefox, not tested in other browsers.

Thank you!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the Firefox behavior with chapters or transcript enabled, then enter fullscreen and inspect the panel and shortcut behavior. Done means fullscreen no longer opens the panel automatically when the new option is disabled, or the agreed shortcut alternative can hide it.
