VS-Code - Maximizing Horizontal Space For Editor

[adt]

collapsing Explorer, probably hiding activity bar and mini map and going into Full screen mode would yield more real estate than the zen mode

The screen shot submitted in my previous post represents maximized state of editor window, after taking all the steps recommended by you.

It would be seen that centrally placed editor window is narrower than the blue colored task bar (seen at bottom), leaving unused blank space on either side.
