The Joplin desktop always displays the note titles of the current notebook in a left pane. When working on a particular note, this pane has no added value. It would be nice if this pane could be hidden as to have a single window with just the note.

For example, use F10 to toggle between Sidebar+Notes+Note -\> Notes+Note -\> Note -\> etc.

in the meantime, you can already hide the folder / tag panel with “toggle sidebar” button.

Precisely. That’s why I suggested to use F10 for cyclic toggling between 3 view states instead of the current 2 states.
