Pass effective rail visibility to secondary views.
When sidebarOpen is false, Sidebar no longer renders the project rail. SearchView, InboxView, and NotesView still receive besideRail={projectRailOpen}. With projectRailOpen=true, these views can reserve space for a rail that is not rendered. Pass sidebarOpen && projectRailOpen to those views, or derive one shared effective rail-visibility value.

i am not sure that we should collapse the sidebar that holds the sessions as well... maybe it can be a different keybinding but not Cmd/Ctrl+B... what do you think ? |
|
yeah you can do a keybinding, but i think there has to be the option to just have the chat. some people like that experience (me included). every gui i use has that option |

Logic checks out — this fixes a real bug where the sidebar toggle was mutating projectRailOpen instead of its own state, and correctly gates the git-status polling/keyboard shortcuts (useGitFileStatuses, useProjectDiffStats, sourceControlActive) on the new real open value instead of a hardcoded open shorthand that was always true.
One nit: the new lines in the onToggleSidebar callback (App.tsx) drop semicolons, inconsistent with the rest of the file which uses them (prettier ^3.9.6 is a project dependency) — worth a prettier --write pass before merge.
i understand and its a valid point the difference in other guis is that they render one sidebar where monocode has 2 in reality... i wouldn't make this the default behaviour to collapse both... what would be an alternative option here @RayenTellissy |
|
it doesn't have to be default behavior, each sidebar can have it's own keybind to hide/show it |
|
yeah that works with me. keybinding would be perfect just not more panel close buttons cause it would get confusing |

Cmd/Ctrl+B and View > Toggle Sidebar previously only collapsed the project rail (duplicating the rail's own toggle). This wires the command to hide the entire sidebar instead.
monocode.sidebarOpenflag inappearance.tswith load/save helpersApp.tsxtrackssidebarOpenstate and passes it toSidebarvia the previously hardcodedopenpropopen, with settings still forcing the rail slot visible since they render thereRail collapse via its own button is unchanged. Menu item, accelerator, and keybindings entry already existed, so no changes there.
