thanks for the link. It appears the answer is NO, there is not a native shortcut. Major oversight on Microsoft's part.

Yes. Could be viewed as an omission. If I need more space I have now got used to just quickly dragging it clear to the left. Not mentioned here, fwiw, but most certainly not what you are looking for - You can turn it off completely through the Tools - View.
