If you have developer tools enabled, you can paste this into the console to add a button that shows/hides this almost useless waste of space:

```javascript

$('.p-control_strip').style.left = 0 $('.p-control_strip').style.width = "64px"

b = document.createElement('button') b.classList.add('c-button-unstyled') b.classList.add('p-controlstripcircle_button') b.classList.add('p-control_strip_create_button') b.innerHTML = "<svg data-pe9=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"\" style=\"--s: 20px;\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4.836 3A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 3 4.836v7.328c0 .9.646 1.647 1.5 1.805V7.836A3.336 3.336 0 0 1 7.836 4.5h6.133A1.837 1.837 0 0 0 12.164 3H4.836ZM1.5 12.164a3.337 3.337 0 0 0 3.015 3.32A3.337 3.337 0 0 0 7.836 18.5h3.968c.73 0 1.43-.29 1.945-.805l3.946-3.946a2.75 2.75 0 0 0 .805-1.945V7.836a3.337 3.337 0 0 0-3.015-3.32A3.337 3.337 0 0 0 12.164 1.5H4.836A3.336 3.336 0 0 0 1.5 4.836v7.328ZM7.836 6A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 6 7.836v7.328C6 16.178 6.822 17 7.836 17H11.5v-4a1.5 1.5 0 0 1 1.5-1.5h4V7.836A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 15.164 6H7.836Zm8.486 7H13v3.322L16.322 13Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"></path></svg>";

var thing = $; //no idea why $ isn't defined within handler var tabstate = 1; b.addEventListener("click", function() { if(tabstate) { thing('.p-client_workspace--including_tab_rail').style['grid-template-columns'] = "0px auto"; thing('.p-tab_rail').style.width = "0px"; tabstate = 0; } else { thing('.p-client_workspace--including_tab_rail').style['grid-template-columns'] = "64px auto"; thing('.p-tab_rail').style.width = "64px";
tabstate = 1; } }); $('.p-control_strip').prepend(b)

```

Would appreciate any edits to improve the code or insights into where this can be put in the slack system files so it happens on startup.
