Feature Requests: Keyboard Shortcut to hide/show vertical tab bar
I'm loving the vertical tab bar natively, but just have a few simple feature requests that would make it that much nicer for a power user:
1) Provide a keyboard shortcut to collapse and expand the vertical tab bar. I love the vertical tab bar for allowing for titles to be visible even when you have a decent number of tabs, but it does take up a lot of horizontal space, so I am often switching between it being and expanded and collapsed. A keyboard shortcut (something that requires only left hand) would make this so great.
2) Remove the 'x' from each tab unless the pointer is hovering over it. The 'x's on every tab just takes away space for showing more of the tab titles.

It's been 4 years and still no shortcut..... honestly are the edge team even reading these forum posts?

I'll add another request for this feature. Seems relatively trivial to add - even just a menu item (on the mac) will make it possible for me to setup a shortcut key.

This would be a great productivity boost to me. I am interested in the feature.
- diligent176Brass ContributorI really need this please. Vertical tabs is pretty much my favorite feature in Edge.
Why haven't we got a shortcut key to toggle (show/collapse) the vertical tabs pane? - junekimCopper ContributorPlease provide collapse pane shortcut.

Pillowes All `F6` does it act similar to typical Tab key functionality: switching between address bar, bookmarks bar, and then it temporarily shows the collapsed tabs. I had to hit it 3 times for the collapsed vertical tab bar to appear, and even then, it was only temporary.
Good to know, but not ideal.
- nixseeBrass ContributorI asked for this years ago - I really hope they'll add it. It is a no-brainer.

Please, please add the keyboard shortcut. Vertical tabs that can be grouped and substitute the horizontal ones is the main reason I've migrated / I'm migrating almost all my profiles to Edge. I'm constantly expanding and collapsing and yes, it's the main hindrance for a real/complete flowing experience using Edge.
And maybe add it to the vertical panel, which I'm recently discovering could be useful, but I'm still not convinced just because of the lack of shortcuts (I can't understand why make these powerful options so expected by advanced users and then hinder the process due to the lack of keyboard shortcuts. Please include shortcuts! - Anton_HartmanCopper ContributorI would love a keyboard shortcut to pin/unpin the horizontal tabs!
- dsds56900Copper ContributorI agree, this would be really useful for "power users".
