Description
Today when you create a pull request it opens in the sidebar and you have to type the description in there. Due to accessibility needs this is a bit problematic for me. I was hoping we could do what the git.commit command does and use as a full editor to create the pull request.

Research direction
Start by examining the pull request creation flow in the VS Code extension and compare it with the full-editor behavior used by the git.commit command. Determine how pull request descriptions are currently entered in the sidebar and identify the existing tests for that flow. Done means users can compose a pull request description in a full editor, with the accessibility problem addressed.
