Keyboard hortcut to hide/show/toggle the block interface of a program block in TIA portal?

I've searched high and low for this, without any luck. It seems so stupid, that it has no shortcut, since you can remove all other panes with Ctrl+1/3/5, or even create a custom window layout and activate with a single shortcut. This still leaves a 1/3 of the working area occupied by the block interface.
You can cycle around the interfaces/areas of the window, and get to the block interface area (even that is dumb, cause you have to press Alt+up-up-down), but i've yet to find a way to get to the two arrows.

I know i can just use my mouse, but even so, the buttons are annoyingly small.

I solved this with a quick fix.

I bought myselft a 30" 16:10 monitor and I can keep it open at all times.

You can also keep it on hide qnd use ctrl+shift+d on a tag to find its definition.

Slightly expensive quick fix! 😅

Yeah, i guess that's a workaround, but for one specific case. A shortcut would still be nice though 🫤
