'Terminal over file browser in VSCode
The Terminal only covers the editor part of VSCode and not the file browser as well. Is there a setting to tell VSCode that you want the terminal to be the full width of the screen, even when the file browser is visible?
Also, any idea what the keyboard shortcut is to hide the terminal?

If you're asking whether one can increase the width of the integrated terminal so that it overlaps the sidebar(in your case you're referring to a file explorer), then the answer is a no to my knowledge. If you're asking about maximizing /reverting the terminal, then that's a work in progress. It has not been merged yet!
But you can toggle(hide) the sidebar to get the full width of the terminal, which can be done very neatly with the Ctrl+B (cmd for mac) keybind for toggling sidebars.
You can toggle the terminal using Ctrl+` (it's the backtick key over TAB).
Hope this helps you somehow.

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/70050400/836330 for an updated answer as this is now out of the experimental stage.
This is a feature that is behind an experimental "flag" in the Insiders Build v1.63.
Workbench > Experimental > Panel: Alignment
Setting that to left will cover the bottom of the Side Bar if the Side Bar is on the left. If you have the Side Bar on the right side, then right would cover that.
justify appears to be the most generic option and will cover the Side Bar and the Side Panel whether one or both are open and on the left or right or both sides.
