Description
When using splits in vim, it is very convenient to be able to zoom in and out. Using zoomvim ( https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=508 ) for example it is possible to:
Press <c-w>o : the current window zooms into a full screen
Press <c-w>o again: the previous set of windows is restored
This makes splits much more useful.
At current it looks like Ctrl-W o only closes all splits except the current one, and there is no way to go back to the previous splits configuration.
Could a zoom-like behavior be implemented?
(note: sometimes people use tmux for obtaining this behavior, i.e. have tmux splits with vim in each. the result is the same, though it is more cumbersome. Of course in VSC case using tmux for this is not an option).

Research direction
Start by searching the repository for the existing Ctrl-W o split handling and the code that manages VS Code editor groups. Determine how the prior split configuration can be restored after zooming, then verify that repeating the command toggles between the zoomed and restored layouts.
