Description
It seems there is no way to show/hide the main side window where are docked all native windows like Explorer, Projects, Fonctions list, etc and add-ons. A menu command and shortcut could be useful.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the main side-window docking UI and the existing menu-command and shortcut definitions; confirm the relevant entry points before deciding how the show/hide behavior should be wired. Done means the side window can be toggled consistently through both a menu command and a shortcut.
