Problem

Can you add a button to collapse the sidebar history panel in the VS Code extension?

Right now it does the annoying thing where I expand the window to get more viewing space, but when it gets to whatever size triggers the sidebar it pops in from the left and shrinks the available viewing space.

Some kind of simple "collapse in/out" button would alleviate this problem, so please add that if its easy to do so!

Thank you for your conitinued (lol) great work! Love this project!!

Hm I see how this could be annoying. I realistically don't know if we will prioritize this over certain things we have planned in the next couple of weeks, but luckily this is a very good issue for first contributions. I'm marking it as such and will share it with some contributors who might be interested
