Shortcuts - hiding side panels VSC

I never understood how people could work on 13 inch laptops. Way too little real estate for me! I am using a 27inch monitor and have recenlty developed a dislike for the mouse / touchpad use. After a brief search (you can search by key recording, useful if you know how to do something one way, but it's not a toggle bind), I found the following:

View: Toggle Primary Side Bar Visibility

View: Toggle Panel Visibility

Which give me even more real estate after searches, test runs or lints without the need to use my nemesis, the mouse!
