This Sublime Text 3 plugin will automatically hide the side bar when it loses focus. It also works well when paired with the popular FocusFileOnSidebar
Install via Package Control or you can git clone [email protected]:akrabat/SideBarHider.git
from within your Packages folder.
The autohide behaviour for a window can be toggled via the command: SideBarHider. This is useful for circumstances when you need the sidebar to be with you all the time, e.g. when doing extensive navigation throgh a folder tree. Toggling is window specific and not persisted across sublime sessions (sidebar will again be hidden after restarting Sublime Text).
- Either via command palette. Search for: SideBarHider
- Or use the shortcut: ctrl+alt+shift+t (Windows, Mac OS and Linux)
