In Windows File Explorer, it seems the only ways to hide the Navigation pane are using the mouse or a long key sequence.
ALT
Arrow Right x 2 (to reach "Weergave" / "View")
ENTER (to open the menu)
ARROW down x 10 (to reach submenu "Weergave" / "View"
ENTER (ot open submenu)
ENTER (to select "navigatievenster" / "navigation pane"
Is there a quicker way to toggle the Navigation pane?

AI answer
In Windows File Explorer, you can quickly toggle the Navigation pane using the keyboard shortcut Alt + V followed by N. This sequence will open the View menu and directly toggle the Navigation pane without needing to navigate through multiple menus.
