Thanks for the clarification.

It is a shame that it couldn't be added as an option in the preferences though.
You could ship with a good set of defaults with optimum vertical
space, then people could have the option of adding it if they so
desired.

Or, as mentioned it could just be another toolbar on the sides.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. I'll try to memorize the shortcuts for now.
