Keyboard shortcut to dismiss topmost block in sidebar

[bruab]

Describe the problem

A move I make several times a day is "Click the 'X' to dismiss the topmost (and often only) block open in the sidebar so I can remove distractions and focus on a single Page."

A keyboard shortcut to accomplish this action would save me at least 66 seconds, and 20 wrist movements, per day.

Feature implementation

Dealer's choice. I'm used to CTRL-SHIFT-D for returning to Daily Notes, so maybe something parallel to that? CTRL-SHIFT-DEL? I'll learn whatever you hand me.

Additional context

I've learned basic shortcuts, and even installed Karabiner-Elements to map CTRL-HJKL to arrow keys for better intra-block navigation. If there's another keyboard shortcut that you prioritize over this one, plz LMK because I'm pretty sure this is my Next Most Time Consuming Click.

If you want to remove the entire sidebar, CMD-SHIFT-\ works.

However, I'd still very much like a shortcut for the action you describe, because I often want to dismiss the top sidebar page just so I can see the next sidebar page. It's pretty common that I have two pages continuously open, and want to quickly open and close other pages for a small edit or look.

@luuf Since opening this issue I've installed the Roam Toolkit extension and enabled Vim mode, which lets me close the topmost sidebar Page with 😌
