It’d be nice to be able to collapse and expand the side bars in the papers list view for better visibility when I’m just interested in scrolling through the list of papers. It’d be ideal to be able to both click a collapse/expand button at the bottom and/or top of each side bar as well as use shortcuts to do the same.

In a similar vein, it’d be nice to be able to adjust the width of each side bar and snap them back into place by double clicking or something to return to the default width.

In the new Paperpile web app that you can sign up to beta test [here](https://forum.paperpile.com/t/the-new-paperpile-now-in-private-beta/8294), it is possible to adjust the size of the columns of the reference grid and folder tree. Hopefully these new functionalities will suit your needs.
