In the desktop Figma app, when I collapse the sidebar to a compact view, there is no way to switch pages while maintaining that compact view. It would be ideal if I could at least open pages in separate tabs, but instead, all pages within the same project are consolidated into a single tab (split view is possible, but not what I'm looking for). If it weren't for this "overly helpful" design choice, navigating between pages wouldn't be such a struggle (because showing/hiding the sidebar affects bothsides, making the screen extremely narrow, and constantly toggling it is inelegant).
