wait its tab yay

Looks like you have gone to full-screen mode. Hit F11 to toggle between regular view and fullscreen.

You just did hit the Tab key unintentionally
hit the Tab key again (above [Caps Lock]),

The [Tab <->] key is a toggle to hide / show all dockable dialogue tabs/windows (very useful when you need more space for your canvas, like while working on a highly zoomed image)
