I'd like to shrink the size of these tabs at the top of the VSCode editor somehow.

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?
I know there are keys to hide/show them separately, but is there a key which does it in one step and leaves only the editor, hiding both the sidebar and the bottom panels with a single shortcut?
Using VSCode 1.58.2 on Ubuntu 20.04.2.
VSCode 1.58 allows Editor scroll bar customization which is great. However, this has no effect on the vertical scrollbar in the Explorer pane. Is there a setting to change the size of that scrollbar?
In vscode when you are working with multiple panes split both horizontally and vertically or a combination of the two, and you double click inside of a pane i.e. the content body it automatically expands. This pushes around all of your panes which sucks to continuously reorganize.
Is there a way to shut this off? I can not find the setting.
Here is a gif of what this looks like http://recordit.co/ClOxfe0CYz
Try resetting the editor sizes with the "Reset Editor Group Sizes" from the command palette. Thereafter, the focused editor will not expand in size.
Maximizing the focused editor only starts to work if one of the editors was previously minimized or maximized. See how to maximize an editor.
I found that double click on any tab(when you have any tab split) will Toggle auto group size what you experience I believe. So if this happens just double click again on any tab to disable auto resizing.
After some searching in the settings I was able to resolve this by disabling:
Workbench > Editor: Centered Layout Auto Resize
When I open a file in VSCode, its not filling all editor space but instead of that, it stays in the middle and with a small width. How could I fix it to not resize and fill all space available.
The screenshot shows this behavior
