--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The gutter is an expert property and most users neither know it nor need to
apply it. And option to "Show Gutter in Book Mode" is most likely unclear for
users as you need to understand gutter and book mode. Plus, the View menu is a
too long right now for small screens.

OTOH, an option to hide the gutter not only in book mode could be a handy
function. We discussed to combine it with "Show Whitespace" but discarded the
idea as the two are not related to each other. 

The recommendation is to implement the UNO command but don't add it to the menu
by default. For mouse-driven interaction, clicking the gutter could collapse it
to a minimum size and clicking again would expand. The Show/Hide function
should do the same.
