<p>That's certainly possible (and <a href="https://github.com/danstowell" class="user-mention">@danstowell</a> raised the same issue with me just before you) and I quite like the idea of leaving the panel open if you turn it off in that way.</p>

<p>If we do that then it does raise the question of whether or not the query tool should be activated if you load a query URL directly? My inclination is to leave it disabled (unlike now).</p>
