'VSCode: how to undo split screen and show just current file?
VSCode provides sweet shortcuts for manipulating (splitting and rearranging) screens:
- Press Ctrl + \ to split your screen in two.
- Press Ctrl + Number to focus on one of the screeens
- Press Ctrl + Shift + 0 to change vertical/horizontal split
However, how do I remove all the split screens and just show the currently focused one?
Example: say, I press Ctrl + \ two times (gives me three vertical screens), then press Ctrl + 2 to select middle screen. What should I press now to make left and right screen disappear and middle screen occupy the whole space? In Emacs, that would be Ctrl + X + 1.

See if this keybinding does what you want:
{
"key": "alt+q",
"command": "workbench.action.closeEditorsInOtherGroups"
}
There is no default keybinding for the command workbench.action.closeEditorsInOtherGroups so I made up that one. I think it accomplishes what you want. It will close the other editor groups and keep you at the focused group.
Solution 2:[2]
Invoke Command palette (pressing Ctrl + Shift + P by default) and type/search for:
View: Close Editors in Other Groups

I solved this by clicking on Application Menu (icon with 3 hor. lines on upper left) -> View -> Editor Layout -> Single. Hope it also works for you =).
