Better hotkey for sidebar?

#1

If anyone wants a better hotkey for the side bar add something like this to your Key bindings - User":

[
    { "keys": ["shift+escape"], "command": "toggle_side_bar" }
]

The CTRL-B-K-B is stupid.

I can agree that default keybinding is annoying because there is a lot of manual typing and the
hotkey combination is hard to remember when you have several other applications at your fingertips.

Personally, my keybinding is Ctrl+B, similar to that of Mozilla Firefox :slightly_smiling:
I’ve also rebinded F4 also for that functionality, it is even faster than Ctrl+B.

And to focus the sidebar to be able to navigate with the up and down keys, I have this setup:

{ 
    "keys": ["command+§"], "command": "focus_side_bar" 
}
