In korganizer, I can choose shortcuts to show/hide some component in the left side panel (agenda, search form...) but I can’t choose a shortcut for the side panel itself. Sometimes I want to see more information displayed about the events of the week/month or I simply don’t need to see the side panel. I would like to configure a key, for example F9, to show/hide the side panel as I could for the component of the side panel. Precision: I use korganizer with i3wm window manager without other kde’s apps. Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.5 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5 KDE Frameworks Version: unknown Qt Version: 6
good idea. note that in the Month View and Todo View, there is a button near the bottom right corner that allows you to hide the sidebar. currently there is no key shortcut for that button so I'll add one and make it work in all the views.
Great news, thank you! 🙂
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/pim/eventviews/-/merge_requests/181
While working on this feature I found some related issues: - Kontact uses sidebar terminology for its components and KOrganizer also uses sidebar terminology for its viewer tools. confusing. - The KOrganizer Settings menu has a Sidebar submenu allowing to show the individual tools. shouldn't "Show <tool>" menu be in the View menu and not the Settings menu? - In Month view, if the Full window option is selected a horizontal navigator bar is put across the top of the view. notice the month name is shown in that bar directly above the (bolded) month name included with the view. ugly and redundant. - In Month view, why do we need that horizontal navigator bar anyway? none of the other views have such a thing. all the other views would rely on the Go menu or the Back,Forward buttons to navigate. - Month and Todo view already have their own buttons to hide/show the KOrganizer sidebar. if a global action to hide the KOrganizer sidebar is set, does that mean Month and Todo view are also affected and do we disable their individual hide/show buttons? or, do we remove their hide/show buttons ? or? -
I did something a little different for the 6.7.0 version that will be released in April 2026. Instead of having 1 global setting to disable the sidebar for all views, I added a little hide/show button on the upper left corner of the navigator bar that allows each view (month, agenda, todo, etc) to hide the sidebar independently. If you don't want to see the sidebar ever, then you'll need to visit each view and hide the sidebar. but you only need to that once. but for people who, for example, like to see the sidebar for agenda view but not for the other views this gives them more flexibility. Additionally, the navigator bar is moved into the view itself if the sidebar is hidden (except in todoview); this allows fast navigation even without the sidebar.
Thank you @Allen for all of this but I am not sure to understand. Did you add shortcuts which permit to easily show/hide the side panel? :/ It would very convenient on some screens divided by two, for example one window for korganizer and one for another app. Many app give the ability to hide panels with one shortcut (libreoffice with several panels, okular...). As far I understand your comment, a button is another thing (also useful for some usage). Personally, I already appreciate a lot to have my shortcuts for the day view, the week view, and the month view. Very convenient! A shortcut for the side panel would be very useful (for me at least!) I don’t reopen this FR because I have perhaps misunderstood what you’ve done.
