Hi There,
I was wondering why `togglePalette` isn't exposed (i.e. exported) as a method a-la `toggleSidebar`?
Basically I want to hide the sidebar and palette on Mobile and am now doing this:
```auto
RED.sidebar.toggleSidebar(false);
$("#red-ui-main-container").addClass("red-ui-palette-closed");
```
to achieve that.
The second lines comes from [here](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/805f8a5ee75d0960374540f213ce76faf78890e0/packages/node_modules/%40node-red/editor-client/src/js/ui/palette.js#L675-L685).

Hi @gregorius
It is exposed as an action:
```auto
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-palette", false)
```
Similarly, you should use the equivalent action for toggling the sidebar:
```auto
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-sidebar", false)
```
