Change clicking sidebar button behavior so that it hides the "Navigator" panel

Personally I prefer the Webflow behavior where when you click on the sidebar buttons it will only show the panel associated with that button. If you click the button again it will hide the panel (and doesn't show the "Navigator" panel.

Being able to hide the "Navigator" panel would be nice because it takes up a lot of space especially when you're working on a smaller monitor... I would like to hide it.

But you have to make more click to add some elements in the tree. If personnaly think it’s a good idea IF we would add the ability to have keyboards shortcuts.
If you undock the navigator it becomes closable, did you know?
@Oleg Isonen Oh no I didn't know about that. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I feel like that's very unintuitive though. I feel like it would be better to have a button like a pin/unpin button next to the close button in the "Navigator" panel.

Did you use webflow? If yes that's why you think this. Simply because you got used to it. Every other tool has view options like that
Yeah. I think it's fine to leave it how it is since there's an option for it. Users coming from webflow might not be able to find it right away though. When the global search is added if this option shows up in there that would help a lot.
If there is one option why make a drop down?
there will be more things that go in to view options
