I submitted changes to Kovid to add a calibre "action" that can show/hide any of the 6 panes. Assuming he accepts it, you can use the Action Chains plugin to set up the view how you want with a single shortcut to invoke the chain. You could also use Action Chains events to do it automatically when a given library is opened.
In addition, the change includes an "API" that View Manager can use to show or hide panes, should someone want to add this functionality to it.
Although one can add the action to a toolbar, there isn't any reason to do so because the buttons are built into calibre's lower status bar.
