As far as I have figured out there are 235 key combinations in Lightroom! and these Lightroom key combinations do different things depending on the context.

Task Windows Mac
Show/hide side panels Tab Tab
Show/hide all panels Shift + Tab Shift + Tab
Show/hide toolbar T T
Show/hide Module Picker F5 F5
Show/hide Filmstrip F6 F6
Show/hide left panels F7 F7
Show/hide right panels F8 F8
Toggle solo mode Alt-click a panel Option-click a panel
Open a new panel without closing existing solo panel Shift-click on a panel Shift-click on a panel
Open/close all panels Ctrl-click on a panel Command-click on a panel
Open/close Navigator or Preview panel Ctrl Shift 0 Command Control 0
Open/close left panels under Navigator or Preview panel, top to bottom Ctrl Shift 1 to 4 Command Control 1 to 4
Open/close Histogram Ctrl 0 Command 0
Open/close right panels, top to bottom Ctrl 1 to 7 Command 1 to 7
