“edit this file” option in PR filelist view in sidebar

Issue #576 new

There needs to be an easier way to edit the files listed in PR section from sidebar.
Currently, we do have “edit this file” option, once the file is opened in read only review/diff mode, which is placed in top-right toolbar.

It would be nice to have “edit this file” option available on hovering the file list item from the sidebar itself. This will reduce the number of clicks to get there.

Also, it would be better to make the file listing matching to VS Code source control sidebar section (as much as possible). It has some nice features. Like,

  • It uses color coded letters M, D, R, A to covey type of file change
  • indicates quantity of changes made in each file.
  • Has better view as list/as tree presentation
  • shows icon buttons additional file options on hovering.
