VS Code tips — Maximizing editor groups

With maximized editor groups, the currently active editor will expand to take up as much space as possible, without hiding other editor groups. The maximized editor is updated automatically as you switch between editors

You can maximize an editor group by running: "View: Maximize editor group" or by clicking and dragging to resize an editor to its maximum size

To stop maximization, just resize the editors or run the "View: Toggle Editor Group Sizes" command

#vscode

Now this setting would maximize the editor group instead of expanding it like we see in the video and you cannot change this behavior

You can maximize an editor group by double clicking one of the currently active tabs in one of your editor groups. Turning the feature off and providing equal space to all groups can also be done by double clicking the currently active tab.
