We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Sidebar tabs switch per
alt+<1..9>, uno:Sidebar aka View > [x] Sidebar is bound to ctrl+F5 and
shows/hides the sidebar completely. The x closes the tab but keeps the tabbar
visible, the button minimizes the sidebar tabbar too. This interaction is
ambiguous and overly complex, and rather for marketing than supporting any
workflow. Additional shortcuts are not needed.

Kind of like the toggle that F11 provides for the Stylist deck. 

But that has issues in the sense that the splitwin "Buttons" apply to either
Sidebar splitwin framework exposure state--just Tab bar, or to Tab bar and
Deck.  

Also the +[1-9] just Open corresponding SB when focus is on the document
canvas or the SB, and don't work while focused to main menu, any toolbar, or a
Notebook Bar assemblage.

So would provide a keyboard toggle for the splitwin to collapse (but not close)
the SB framework.  The existing +F5 shortcut actually closes the
framework, and applies SB state as recorded to profile for each module on
relaunch.

Unfortunately there is no available UNO to match the mouse-only splitwin
collapse of the SB framework--and don't think extending the +[1-9] slate
of shortcuts gives us the right UX.  That same UNO could be reused with the
other splitwin UI (e.g. calc, writer).

Could making Alt+[1-9] *toggle* the current state of the corresponding deck
maybe be a potential solution, i.e. switch to that deck if it's currently not
active, and collapse it if it currently is active?

Sounds like over-engineering but probably needed from the a11y POV. Michael,
what do you think?

This is expected with the current +F5 toggle (.uno:Sidebar) which
*closes* or *opens a new instance* of the SB framework. Its workflow and UI
behavior is pretty consistent, as is that of the F11 "Stylist".

Also, UNO are already available and assigned to open each SB Deck (bug 84502);
+[1-9] with 1-4 common (uno:PropertyDeck, uno:StyleListDeck,
uno:GalleryDeck, uno:NavigatorDeck) across the modules.

IMHO what *would* be useful would be creating an additional UNO action
supporting a keyboard toggle of the current 'Hide'/'Show' (vcl/splitwin)
thumb/grip button actions for an active Sidebar instance. Currently just
available to mouse click on the buttons.

While clicking on a Deck's Tab in the Tab bar will toggle the Deck collapsed or
open, the "Hide" thumb button fully collapses the Sidebar (exposing a 'Show'
thumb button on the opposite SB edge).  While the 'Show' button restores the
Sidebar, either just Tab bar, or Tab bar and Deck depending on state when
hidden.
