##### Collapsed menu

When the menu is collapsed to icons only, a full menu reappears as soon
as the mouse cursor is placed upon it. Note that it reappears over page
content; to move page content to the right you have to click on the
expand button. If the mouse cursor again is placed outside the full
menu, the menu will collapse again after two seconds.

You can also make a collapsed menu reappear fully by hitting the Tab
key. Hitting the Tab key repeatedly will allow to focus on the next menu
element.

##### Hidden menu

Even when the menu is hidden completely, a full menu is just one mouse
click away, by clicking on the burger icon. Note that it reappears over
page content; to move page content to the right you have to unhide the
menu by clicking on the show sidebar button.
