'Toggle Sidebar' still non-functional in 2.0.24 — sidebar.toggle has no webapp command (follow-up to #28971) #53631
Description
Description
Follow-up to #28971 ("[Desktop BETA] Sidebar missing"), closed without a linked fix.
The sidebar toggle is still non-functional in the latest desktop release (2.0.24):
- On Linux there is no native app menu (menu installation only runs on macOS), so
View → Toggle Sidebar is unreachable. - There is no "Toggle sidebar" entry in the in-app command palette/dropdown either.
- Ctrl+B is bound to "Home" (home.toggle), which works, but is a different command.
Code-level detail from the 2.0.24 bundle (/opt/OpenCode/resources/app.asar):
sidebar.toggleappears only in the native menu template
(desktop.menu.toggleSidebar→command: sidebar.toggle). Unlike
terminal.toggleandfileTree.toggle(both registered as webapp commands with
keybinds), there is no webapp command registration forsidebar.toggle— so the
menu item has no command to trigger on any platform, including macOS.
If the sidebar is intentionally replaced by the tab-based UI, the dead menu entry /
command reference should be removed to avoid confusion (as suggested in #29902).
If the sidebar is meant to return, this confirms it is still missing in 2.0.24.

Thanks for the detailed follow-up and the bundle analysis! This looks like the same problem as #40898, which is still open. There, View → Toggle Sidebar (along with other View entries) does nothing or is greyed out, and a comment confirmed on 2.0.22 that the cause is the one you found: the menu entry points at
sidebar.toggle, but no command with that name is registered in the app. Whatever the fix turns out to be (registering the command or removing the dead entry) would be handled there, so please follow #40898 and add your 2.0.24 confirmation there if you like.In the meantime, a workaround mentioned in that issue: Settings → General → Tabs → "Vertical" gives a side layout.
The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

Closing as a duplicate of #40898, since there's been no reply on how this differs. That issue tracks the same problem: View → Toggle Sidebar points at
sidebar.toggle, but no command with that name is registered. Please follow #40898, and feel free to add your 2.0.24 confirmation there. Until it's resolved, Settings → General → Tabs → "Vertical" gives you a side layout. If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen. Thanks again for the detailed analysis!
