Now that minimize view can be mapped to a key per bug 52506, it would be most helpful to be able to bring it back!  How about a mapping to the restore functionality you get when clicking the restore button in the corner? 

I would like to see this working ideally in three different ways.  

1. A command restores the view that is currently selected that isn't docked, so for instance if the package explorer were minimized, the user would hit alt+shift+q, p, then the restore command.

2. An additional method would be to restore the specifically selected view (alt+control+q?,) p, would dock the view, not just show it.  

3. A preference option could be added to always respond to show view commands on minimized views (alt+shift+q, p) by restoring them.  



Reproducible: Always

If nothing, a simple option in the "Keys" menu to assign a shortcut to the "Restore" button on a view would be good.
