--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
This is expected with the current <Ctrl>+F5 toggle (.uno:Sidebar) which
*closes* or *opens a new instance* of the SB framework. Its workflow and UI
behavior is pretty consistent, as is that of the F11 "Stylist".

Also, UNO are already available and assigned to open each SB Deck (bug 84502);
<Alt>+[1-9] with 1-4 common (uno:PropertyDeck, uno:StyleListDeck,
uno:GalleryDeck, uno:NavigatorDeck) across the modules.

IMHO what *would* be useful would be creating an additional UNO action
supporting a keyboard toggle of the current 'Hide'/'Show' (vcl/splitwin)
thumb/grip button actions for an active Sidebar instance. Currently just
available to mouse click on the buttons.

While clicking on a Deck's Tab in the Tab bar will toggle the Deck collapsed or
open, the "Hide" thumb button fully collapses the Sidebar (exposing a 'Show'
thumb button on the opposite SB edge).  While the 'Show' button restores the
Sidebar, either just Tab bar, or Tab bar and Deck depending on state when
hidden.
