Feature request: add command to pin panel/sidebar

I think it would be convenient to be able to toggle pin/unpin sidbar or panel via a command. 😄

For example:

  • Pin panel when checking search results.
  • Pin sidebar when viewing diffs.

I suppose that the pin/unpin states should be effective only in current workspace.

I think this is beyond the scope of my intention with this extension. This extension is merely a hack on the base code to have some semblance of an auto hide.

I guess one could also inject a view/title action into all view containers: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/tree-view#view-actions

Awesome! We can also use pin and pinned icon to suggest current status.

I couldn't make it work so far though. The extension setup is somehow broken, the build command doesn't work in WSL.
Not sure if you can actually reference those icons: microsoft/vscode#31466

Edit: No it does work but only in some view containers like the search view or test explorer for whatever reason.
