      hi! i'm really in love with the sidebar and the chance to show and hide it with just a hover. Despite this i have to admit that many sites that i use super frequently have their own tool bar that is, in most of the cases, on the left side (Eg. Teams, Miro, Milanote). what happens, with the #sidebar-autohide flag enabled is that when i try to access those toolbars, the opera sidebar shows up over them, not allowing to use the tools.
      What i'm asking for is a short delay before showing up the sidebar (1.5/2 seconds should be enough), reducing accidental bar show-ups

        @giaaaacomo I assigned a shortcut key to toggle sidebar on and off (I use "F2"). Much better solution for sidebar access, for the reasons you stated.

        Go to settings, scroll down to "advanced", expand and go all the way to the bottom, then click on "configure shortcuts". From there, you can assign a shortcut key to "show sidebar". (it's near the top of the list). Hope this helps.

          one year later, this is probably the only issue i have with opera. i don't understand if it's just about my usage, but to me looks like a really big problem that could be solved super easily. i honestly have also considered switching to vivaldi for this reason (there you can set a vertical slim bar that toggles the side panel on and off), but really like all the rest about opera, especially after opera one.

          please, fix this one
