Description

This PR serves partially as a proposal and could be iterated on, but, currently the sidebar contains a plethora of options that are rarely used, at least to justify their space in my opinion.

Then this seeks to combine those items into the General Space button

(old look)

(proposed minimalist look)

(or by reverting the remove description commit)

Opening any of the menus changes the plus for the respective icon
image

Within the separate ctrlK and ctrlF and add search messages commit it also seeks to separate the CTRL+K and CTRL+F behavior, allowing the user to easily bring up the search menu for searching messages with CTRL+F and keeping the search rooms within CTRL+K, mimicking the behavior of other platforms.

Not sure if search really fits in with the + icon

hmm true, but with the idea that the sidebar is too full it would be annoying to separate them and it would remove the benefit of doing it because then it would be another search item in the open, maybe the plus icon could be changed or maybe it could be separated having the compass icon now represent navigating between rooms youre in?

I think I like this option the best, although still kinda not sure about the compass icon.
