Left sidebar behavior (show/hide)

Thoughts on the behavior of the left side bar toggle:
There is a keyboard shortcut to toggle the menu bar, but this is about the mouse usage and making it smoother.
1- Hovering over the left of the window slide-opens the left panel, pointer leaves the zone > menu hides. (Yes it's like Notion... I know... but it's just SO practical 🙂
There may be downsides to this behavior: eg to avoid showing the menu at unwanted moments (eg: working with 2 applications side by side)
So, maybe the behavior could be toggled: the user would choose either "show/hide" (current behavior) or "hover over to show"
2- Another possibility (1st step?) could be to have the toggle button stay in the same place whether the side bar is open or closed. Currently when you open the side bar, the menu button moves to the right, which makes it a bit longer/irritating to quickly open/close the menu bar
