Keyboard shortcut for making VS Code Explorer or other Views fullscreen?

We can toggle the VS Code Explorer's visibility with <kbd>ctrl/cmd</kbd>+<kbd>b</kbd>. Is there a way to toggle it so it becomes full screen using a keyboard shortcut?

As far as I know at the time of this writing, no, there is not. There's a command View: Toggle Maximized Panel, but there is no corresponding command for Views (things in the primary sidebar).

This was raised in multiple issue tickets (google "site:github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues toggle maximized sidebar OR view feature-request")

• Allow to maximize Side Bar
  #95139 was closed as "by-design", but I think that was a side effect of the specific nature of the particular issue there (the issue raiser had moved a panel into the primary sidebar (view) area and was asking how to maximize that)

• Command for maximize secondary sidebar (and sidebar)
  #152575 was closed for not receiving enough community support in time to get added to the backlog.

If you really want the feature, what I suggest that you do get it in the backlog is raise it again as a feature request, and then promote your feature request to your friends, colleagues, and on r/vscode, telling people to give the issue ticket a thumbs up if they would like the feature-request to get added to the backlog. And if you do, please comment here with a link to it or suggest an edit to this post to add a link to it for posterity and so I can follow it as well.
