Given that the question is present on the forums (here) without a very clear answer needed by a new user, I'm posting this in order to provide that.

As specified at the address linked in the question, the command to use is cm_PanelsSplitterPerPos. By itself, it sets a 50/50% 2-split view. But it takes parameters of the form splitpct=100, which will hide the right panel (show the left one), while splitpct=0 will hide the left one (show the right one).

Adding toolbar buttons:

Right-click on the toolbar, "Edit". Insert new button, Check "Internal command".

Click the Command field and select cm_PanelsSplitterPerPos.

Add splitpct=100, to the "Parameters" field for a button to hide the right panel and show only the left one, and splitpct=0 for a button to hide the left panel and show only the right one. Leave the "Parameters" field empty for the button to revert to 2-panel default view. Use the "Tooltip" field for a button description on mouse hover.

In the images above the icons used are those from here, slightly altered. In the end I made different ones to fit better the GUI.

Here they are:

Adding shortcuts:

I have set F3 for defaulting to split view (no parameters), F4 for the splitpct=0 parameter:

enter image description here

F5 for the splitpct=100 parameter.

As said, use splitpct=100 in the "Parameters" field for a shortkey to hide the right panel and show only the left one, and splitpct=0 for a shortkey to hide the left panel and show only the right, while the command cm_PanelsSplitterPerPos without parameters is the default split-view..
