Thanks for the feedback, I have added this to the project board.

Can you clarify what you mean by turning the sidebar on or off?

Hasan-01 commented 2 months ago

I mean this: Files_rEHrTCOjLr

So a Collapse action as a keyboard shortcut.

Do we want an action for setting it to the Overlay mode via keyboard too? Regardless of Window size.

Thanks for clearing that up! We actually had a keyboard shortcut for toggling the sidebar, but it got left out when we revamped the sidebar (funny enough, it was exactly a year ago!). We initially planned to reintroduce it, but it didn’t happen due to a lack of interest. We’re happy to move forward with this if interest picks up. Before committing to this feature, we’ll keep this issue open for a while to gauge community interest

@ninadch06 we're currently waiting to see if there is enough interest in this issue before moving forward with it. You can check the status of an issue from the right side of the page. image

I'm interested. What amount of traction is needed or do you require, to start working on it?

yaira2 commented 1 month ago

More traction on this issue and on Discord.

This would be a great feature to better utilize the small screen area e.g. on laptops.

@zurkozar123 it's worth noting that you can already collapse the sidebar by double clicking the sidebar border. This request is to add a keyboard shortcut for this action.
