When I click on the icon on the left or press CtrlShiftG, the staging pane shows on the left where explorer would otherwise be (workspace panel).
When I click on one of the files in this pane, it opens a difference editor to the right, highlighting additions, removals, and modifications in green and red.
Question follows:
This editor view, highlighting the differences, always opens in the most-recently active split editor group (other words, the latest-focused pane below where tabs are grouped on the top).
I would like this workspace view (or editor "mode") to hide the currently-opened tabs, and simply open the difference view to utilize the maximum width of the viewport, not re-purpose an editor pane. Tabs from different editor views opened by the VCS workspace sidebar ought to be grouped in their own (by default) fullscreen pane, separate from where the tabs of the primary editor functionalities are housed.
What is the closest I can get to this functionality, using either in-built settings, or extensions?
