Answer a question

I'd like to have the ability to make one of multiple split editor windows full screen.

I usually have two vertically splitted windows with code and it would be useful to make sort of full-screen-zoom without explorer terminal and all other bars, just code.

Initally I have the following:

but I would like to configure a shortcut to make an active window full-screen like this:

It is like F11, closing the explorer, and merging the split. It is messy to do it by hand all the time...

You need to edit keybindings. Press Ctrl+K and then Ctrl+S to open keyboard shortcuts.

If you're on a mac, use Command key instead of Ctrl.

Search full screen in search bar. You will see something like this:

Click on the result. Press Ctrl+K and Ctrl+K (again!) or click pencil icon to edit the shortcut. Press desired key combination. That's it.

And here are some more shortcuts to learn:

Press Ctrl+K and then Z to open editor in full screen without explorer and terminal, etc. And you can use Ctrl+B to show/hide side bar and Ctrl+J to show terminal and console panel.

Download keyboard shortcuts file here for your favourite OS.

To make these hotkeys work in vim-mode:

Actually VSCodeVim will take over your control keys. This behaviour can be adjusted with the useCtrlKeys and handleKeys settings. Go to File>>Preferences>>Keyboard Shortcuts. Search for Ctrl+k in search bar. You will see extension.vim_ctrl+k as below:

Change this hotkey. Now it should work.
