@gyanarthi,
Can you please click the sidebar button on the top right to ensure that it is closed and then set the option in Settings --> Appearance to Never again? Additionally, when you say the side bar keeps coming up, does it appear during a mouse over? Or does it never go away to begin with?
thanks for the reply, matches… I didn’t see a button top right of sidebar… but I already had the setting set for never show…I may have inadvertently clicked a key (if there is one) that brings up the sidebar… I can’t think of another reason why it may have come up…anyhow it’s happened a couple times and I couldn’t shut it down… so I had to close all windows and start over… it didn’t come back this time, so I’m OK now.
If it comes up again, I’ll look for a button in the upper right

I would try to note what you clicked or what keys you pressed when you see the sidebar appear so we know what to look for.
@gyanarthi and @Mattches just a FYI as I learned about it today by accident. Hitting Ctrl+B will open/close the sidebar.
Btw, Mattches, not sure who maintains it, but maybe add that and any other recent keyboard shortcuts to https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave- when someone has a chance? Not sure who would be aware of what additions they might have made.
Yes but that shortcut should not be opening it. Additionally, we have a custom keyboard shortcut implementation hitting stable soon, at which time I will update that doc (or add a new one) to explain the functionality.
I believe that once the update goes through, this shortcut can be easily removed. There is a trickier fix for this that involves digging around in your browser profile’s Preferences file — I’m asking the teams about steps to take if users want to dig in that file right now.
Hope to have more information soon.
whatever I hit was accidental… have a tremor and fingers do that a lot… control-b is possible… fingers hit capslock a lot by accident
You can test this right now by opening the browser and hitting Ctrl + B.
haha… I was not so sure I wanted to see the sidebar again…but i tested it and thankfully it turned off after coming on… thanks so much!!
