Is it possible to move the panel/terminal in VS Code to the side of the screen instead of the default bottom? Like if I was doing split screen, but instead of code in the right window, it was the terminal?
Not as of VScode 1.14. We are tracking this feature request here
It doesn't appear to be. There are no documented settings that allow you to do this. The split view editor can be swapped between horizontal and vertical with ⌘+Option+1 on macOS or Shift+Alt+1 on Windows but that doesn't apply to the panel window.
Update:
Support was added in version 1.18 (October 2017)

Is there a way to make terminal span the entire width of the application without closing the sidenav? I use it quite a bit, and often I have to hide the sidenav in order to see it in full width. It would be great if I could set it up so the sidenav is just alongside the editor, allowing terminal to take up the full width of the application.
This is in Stable v1.64 now.
Go to View/Appearance/Align Panel/Justify or use the Layout Control icon on the upper right mentioned below.
Other options for the Panel alignment are center/left/right.
Note that that the Layout icon on the upper right was recently added with this setting:
Workbench > Layout Control: Enabled
Also, as of v1.75 this can be done via the context menu for the Panel. Right-click on an open space of the Panel to the right of the View headers to open the context menu:
See Release Notes: Manage Panel Alignment
It's already available since version 1.64.
Let's switch to Justify option.
**Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment.
There is a ticket for this feature in the VSCode repository - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/42149
UPDATE:
It's already available since version 1.64.

I want to move the intellisense popup window to the left side.
How can I do this?
I tried this solution but it did not help me.
How to make VSCode Intellisense window wider
change width
For adjusting the width, you can drag the right side of the window now, see this SO post for an old animation.
On mac the right of the popup will turn blue when hovered (cursor isn't captured in screenshot) and can be resized. You can also resize vertically by hovering the bottom. It looks like this on mac (not sure about other OS):
change position
The new version (October 2021 (version 1.62)) makes it easy to move the position... sort of. You can now choose to have the editor above or below what you hover. So glad they added it as a feature. This wasn't exactly the problem you had, but when I first searched for moving the intellisense menu, it led me here, so figured I'd add this for others Google sends here.
Simply add the following to settings.json file:
"editor.hover.above": false
Add a comma after it if you have more settings below it:
"editor.hover.above": false,
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
You can try to configure intellisense within VScode using the steps in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense#_customizing-intellisense, though I am not sure if your particular issue could be solved this way.

I just upgraded to v. 1.25 (deb) and a feature that I liked just doesn't work anymore: on previous version, when I clicked on a side editor that was completely collapsed to the side it would expand into view. Does not work anymore for some reason.
Any settings to restore that behavior?
As commented, the VSCode 1.26 release notes mentions:
Grid: Automated maximize of minimized editors
One feature we lost during the introduction of the grid editor layout last milestone was the ability to have editors automatically maximize when you focus them and they are in their minimized state.
This feature is now working as before
:
Restore "snap to minimize/maximize" feature with grid editor layout.
This solves issue 51614 (also illustrated with this duplicate), with commit 61e0cf0.
If you would like to maximize one of the editors and then be able to expand other editors by focusing on them without manually dragging the separator bar to first maximize one editor first, see the new command as of v1.38:
workbench.action.toggleEditorWidths
and How to maximize a split in VScode. just a little nicer than futzing with dragging the separator bar.
