I’m willing to bet it’s one of my most used keyboard shortcuts. During the work day you may find it annoying to do this over and over as you use the sidebar so you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+k, ctrl+b in Windows or command+k, command+b to toggle the sidebar. To do this you can go to the “View” menu then “Side Bar” and “Hide Side Bar”. To really give yourself as much screen real estate as possible, it’s nice to hide this when it’s not being used. While it’s nice to have a list of these normally, it can be annoying to have it open. The sidebar is the section on right hand side of the screen that shows the list of files in your project. We want to disabled most of the options to give us most working space possible because this will allow us to see as much code as possible. The first section of stuff to talk about are the menu items that show or hide items of the user interface. This article goes through several of those options and where it’s helpful.

There are a couple features inside the “View” menu that will really help you maximize your efficiency in Sublime Text.
