Hey there @opdoeq

Thanks for the report. I’ve got a Hide button right here.

Are you talking about something else?

[opdoeq]

yeah but there is no way to toggle it back on after you’ve hidden it, that’s the main problem sorry i should’ve been more clear. for now i just remapped the default keybinding to a more comfortable one but this still feels like a huge UX regression for me.
