New preference: Disable Expand Sidebar On Hover

I suggest a new Preference in the Fibery settings, which allows to disable the automatic expand on hover when the sidebar is closed. There is already a button to show/hide the sidebar on click.

The problem with the ‘expand on hover’ is that is shows up very often unintentionally when coming close to the left side of the screen, e.g. when:

  • Editing text or hitting the first entity view tab.
  • Expanding a minified panel at the left
  • When using vertical tabs in a browser

Vertical tabs a growing trend in all browsers, which means all browser tabs appear in a left column. The user frequently crosses the closed fibery sidebar to reach that, which makes the fibery sidebar appear unintentionally. In the example below I use MS Edge browser.

Agreed! It gets in the way. I’d rather use a keyboard shortcut to open, rather than open on hover.
