Description:
When using Excalidraw in a split-screen view, the drawing toolbar takes up significant space, limiting the workspace. It would be helpful to have a button that can hide or toggle the visibility of the drawing toolbar.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Excalidraw in a split-screen view (e.g., alongside another app/browser).
- Observe that the drawing toolbar takes up a large portion of the screen without an option to hide it.
Expected Behavior:
A toggle button to hide and show the drawing toolbar should be available to improve the screen space.
Actual Behavior:
The drawing toolbar remains open, limiting the workspace in split view.

Additional Context:
This feature would enhance usability, especially for users working with limited screen space.
