Summary
Add a config.toml option to hide the sidebar.
Rationale
Users can need all terminal width for file panels and the file preview. The current sidebar takes horizontal space even when a user does not need it.
Scope
- Add a Boolean sidebar-visibility option to
config.toml(or reuse existing sidebar width options) - Use the option during layout calculation and rendering.
- When disabled, do not render the sidebar or reserve sidebar width.
- Preserve the current default behavior. The sidebar remains visible unless the user disables it.
- Document the option and its default value.

config.toml. - The hidden sidebar consumes no terminal width.
- File panels and file preview use the released width.
- The default configuration keeps the sidebar visible.
- The configuration documentation describes the option.
