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.

@charlescharles Hey now standard macOS keyboard shortcut for Switching to next open window for the active app (Cmd + <) is hijacked by Hide/Show Vertical Tab Bar!
You can't do that. Don't hijack system keyboard shortcuts. Bring it back. Now.

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!

@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.
