How can I toggle the GitHub Copilot Chat panel in VS Code using a keyboard shortcut?

Question

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio Code to hide or toggle the GitHub Copilot Chat side panel? I haven’t found a built-in action for this. So far, the only method I’ve discovered to hide the panel is by manually resizing it to zero, which is not very convenient.

Ctrl + Alt + B
