How to close the git diff panel in vscode?

Question

Is it possible, preferably using a shortcut, to close a git diff window in vscode. I know you can close the sidebar by pressing the ctrl/cmd + B. What about the file git diff window. That shows working file on right and original file on the left.

The reason is that I may have bunch of files and then I go to see what have I changed and see one file. I see something I want to fixed in it and then start editing it but there is left window showing git diffs which I just want to close. But pressing x on file name closes everything both the current version of file and last committed version.

I guess another way to ask this question would be how to go from git diff window to file directly.

VSCode 1.65 (Feb. 2022) - Release Notes > Diff Editor Management

There is a new command Git: Close All Diff Editors in the Command Palette that can be used to close all open diff editors.

There is also a new setting, git.closeDiffOnOperation to automatically close diff editors when changes are stashed, committed, discarded, staged, or unstaged
