Hotkey to show/hide left-hand `treeview` of Windows Explorer
Currently to toggle the treeview
on the left-hand side of Windows Explorer we can use: Organize - Layout - Navigation Pane as below screenshot.
I do this very very often and want to toggle quickly by a hotkey. Please share if you know how to.
Solution 1:
Here is an AutoHotKey script. ⊞ Win + A toggles the navigation pane.

Solution 2:
This thread might be useful:
Keyboard shortcut to hide/show Explorer navigation
According to the thread, there are no hotkeys to hide/show the navigation pane, but you can use ALT-T, O to get most of the way there. Another poster suggests using a utility such as AutoHotkey to create a script that you can assign to a custom hotkey.
Solution 3:
I provide a solution for Windows 8 here.
In file browser, first press Alt(do not hold for combination key).
Then press V, and N.
Finally press Space.
