Pull request overview
This PR fixes the inability to easily open PR descriptions to the side by improving how the extension determines which view column to use when opening or revealing a PR/issue overview panel. The change switches from using activeTextEditor.viewColumn to tabGroups.activeTabGroup.viewColumn, which correctly identifies the current column even when the active tab is not a text editor.
Changes:
- Updated
_getViewColumnmethod to usetabGroups.activeTabGroup.viewColumninstead ofactiveTextEditor?.viewColumn - Removed the unnecessary fallback to
ViewColumn.One(handled elsewhere with fallback toViewColumn.Active)
