Macro api for view

Maybe I’m in the wrong place. The ‘category’ dropdown seems to be a language selector. Nothing about the category of the question

I want a shortcut key to switch between column count in the Writer view.

For some activities I want 1 column others 2 or 3 columns. The Menu/View/Zoom/Zoom/Columns/ is too much of an interruption to work flow.

Maybe there’s already a quick feature but if not I might be able to do this with a macro – preferably Python – but I don’t see any API for working on the Window. All the functions are on the Document. I’m just not looking in the right place, right?
Where can I find this?

Personally, if I want an overview of appearance, I just use the Multiple-page-view icon at the bottom right of the Writer pane. Dragging the zoom slider next to it will change the number of “columns” (pages side-by-side) visible. In fact you can leave it on Multiple Page all the time, zooming to 100% shows just one page for me.
