Maximize active split pane and toggle it

Question

Is there a way to maximize the active splitted pane to full screen and hide other splitted panes.

Is there already a hotkey to do such a thing?

Answer 1

Unfortunately that does not seem to be a feature yet. What is suggested in a VS Code GitHub issue thread is to use the Maximize Editor Group or Maximize Editor Group and Hide Sidebar commands (using the command pallet). To reset the size to what it was before maximizing the group use the Reset Editor Group Sizes command (from the command pallet)
