When having multiple editor groups, they take the same space in VSCode. For example, if I have 2 vertical groups, each one takes 50% of my screen. Now, if I double click on a file name in the group e.g. 2, this group takes about 70% of my screen and becomes bigger, so I can see the code better. If I double click again, both groups will be 50-50 again.
What is this feature called? What's the shortcut key for it?
This feature is called Toggle Editor Group Sizes And there is no shortcut by default, but You can set it as you like. I set my own shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+9) and tested it successfully.
Tested with Ubuntu 20.04 and Visual Studio Code 1.64.0
Warning: as explained by Aymen Kharroubi in issue 154068 "View: toggle editor group sizes doesn't work in a complex window layout"
Example:
start in evenly distributed window layout (like in the image above), then run command "
View: toggle editor group sizes", this works.Now run command "
View: toggle editor group sizes", this doesn't work. Weirdly, if you move to some other window, some work, some don't
This has been fixed with VSCode 1.70 (July 2022, PR 154467) and is available today in Visual Studio Code Insiders.
