Comment 14 for bug 508632

True. But
1. The toggle mode is still lost.
 - Yes why would I ever want to toggle back? Suddenly I might find myself more comfortable browsing to the place anyway. Maybe I didn't remember it's correct path by heart? Now I must click some random Back or Parent directory button or browse somewhere to have it restored.

2. What kind of hand (or keyboard) am I supposed to have to feel comfortable to do CTRL L with my left hand already on the keyboard? L for Location I know but still.
 - The button was easy to reach with mouse pointer since I probably was browsing normally when I needed the feature, thus it was positioned 3-4cm below the button. Now I need to do some bizarre ninja move to find LCTRL L since it doesn't toggle with RCTRL. Wouldn't CTRL G then be better?

If we're looking for UI elements that "takes lot of space for something thats not commonly used" I'd say remove the Delete sidebar button and replace it with the toggle button. I've never needed to delete the sidebar and if I ever needed to I could easily do that from View->Sidebar or even F9. Now I find myself deleting the sidebar instead of toggling to text mode since the Delete sidebar button is where I'd expect the toggle button to be.
