Expose panel:close

[maxdiebold]

Not an issue, but a small feature request: would it be possible to expose the panel:close method, so a keymap can be set to toggle the panel visibility? Or, better yet, just create a wrapper panel:toggle function?

If your cursor is inside the panel, you can just run :quit.

Or do you want to close it when your cursor is not inside panel?

Awesome plugin and I second this. It would be great if I could set and press q when cursor is in the panel to close it due to my personal keybindings.

This feature would be very helpful for programmatic control of the panel without needing the cursor to be in the panel. It would also be great to expose an is_open() function to check if the panel is open.

For an example use case, I have a setup with several plugins that open panels at the bottom of the screen, and due to limited screen real estate I prefer having only one such panel open at a time. I have set up keybindings to close any bottom panel if it is visible, and to automatically close an existing panel if I open another one. This relies on having open, close, and is_open (or equivalents) be available for each of the plugins in question.
