title: Compact Mode
description: Minimalistic interface for focused browsing
---
Compact Mode is one of Zen's main feature that let you hide all browser toolbars and give wider view for the website you're currently visit.
You can activate this feature by right click on empty area on the `toolbar > "Compact Mode" > "Enable compact mode"`, or use `Alt + Ctrl/Cmd + C` keyboard shortcut.

<div align="center">
<video width="100%" loop autoPlay>
<source src="/assets/user-manual/compact-mode/compact-mode.webm" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</div>
}
In Single Toolbar mode, activating Compact Mode will hide the tab sidebar. You can access tab sidebar by hovering the side edge of the browser (based on whether `"Tabs on the right"` is activated or not).
In Multiple Toolbar or Collapsed Toolbar mode, you can choose which bar to hide. These options are accessible below "Compact Mode" > "Enable compact mode" when right clicking the toolbar:
- **Hide sidebar**: Hide the tab sidebar, accessible when hovering side edge of the browser.
- **Hide toolbar**: Hide the top toolbar, accessible when hovering top edge of the browser.
- **Hide both**: Hide both top toolbar and tab sidebar.

You can also use these extra shortcuts to show the hidden bars, suitable for heavy keyboard users. Unlike usual hovering gesture, showing sidebar/toolbar using these shortcuts is done persistently, until you pressed the shortcut again to hide it.
- **Toggle Floating Sidebar**: `Alt + Ctrl/Cmd + S` - Show the tab sidebar for all toolbar modes
- **Toggle Floating Toolbar**: `Alt + Ctrl/Cmd + W` - Show the top toolbar for Multiple & Collapsed Toolbar mode

_All shortcuts can be modified via `Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts`._
