Keyboard shortcuts to move betwen tabs/views in the secondary sidebar?

[wurli]

I've been trying to set some keymaps to maximise the different sections of the secondary sidebar and simultaneously minimise the others, but I'm now starting to think it's not possible. For example:

• A keybinding to maximise the console within the secondary sidebar
• A keybinding to maximise the plots view within the secondary sidebar
• A keybinding to maximise the variables view within the secondary sidebar

Here's the layout I generally use with Positron:

Thankfully, it's easy to move focus to the console by setting a keybinding for workbench.action.positronConsole.focusConsole. I use this all the time, along with workbench.action.navigate(Left|Right) to move between the editor and the main/secondary sidebars. Unfortunately I just find switching between console/variables/plots really fiddly, given that my (fairly large) monitor doesn't have enough vertical space to properly accommodate all 3 at once, and I find myself needing to switch between them so often.

Generally Positron is a complete joy to use, so this is a fairly minor issue given the big picture 😄 But thought it was worth creating a discussion nonetheless in case this is something that can be added - or already exists and I've just missed!

Thank you 🙏

I've been looking for such a command as well! I couldn't find anything provided by VS Code so I think if we want to implement it we'd have to do it ourselves. But it feels like that should be a VS Code viewpane feature (e.g. a parameter to the switching command).
