ctrl + w is used to close the open document, so thats shortcut definitely isnt
an option.

In bug 84502, we want to assign a shortcut for each tab of the sidebar, so
doing once for the activation/deactivation of the sidebar is a good idea.
Ideally it would have a similar combination or alternative a single press key
combination. Though some features are exclusive to the sidebar - styles and
gallery - shortcuts to open those tabs/decks will activate the sidebar even if
it is fully closed.
