            Bug ID: 141481
           Summary: Navigator toggle keyboard shortcut (F5) not consistent
                    in behavior with the Stylist (F11) or other sidebar
                    modules
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Here's something that has always confused me in the way the Navigator behaves.
When you press the F5 key to show/hide it, it behaves totally differently from
the others like the stylist (F11). F11 always toggles the visibility of the
sidebar (or floating window) containing the stylist (or switches to the stylist
in the sidebar), but F5 always the navigator as a "second sidebar"... and when
you have a docked sidebar currently shown, F5 creates another sidebar to show
the navigator instead of switching the view of the already shown sidebar.

So it ends up looking fairly messy like the screenshot you see in attachment
#170942.

To me, it would make more sense if F5 toggled on the visibility of the sidebar
(and switches to the navigator section of it, if it was not already shown),
just like F11 does for the stylist. *If* the sidebar was undocked then in that
case yes I "could" imagine the navigator being its own secondary sidebar, but
otherwise it's just stacking multiple sidebars in a weird interaction pattern.
