Description
The PR creation form, when opened in the sidebar, is difficult to navigate without mouse clicks to adjust the width of the sidebar, hiding/collapsing other sidebar panels, etc...
Once the PR is created, there is a setting "GitHub Pull Requests: Post Create" that allows the overview to open automatically in a new window, which is very helpful.
Request: a setting that would open the initial creation panel in a full tab rather than in the sidebar when invoking the GitHub Pull Requests: Create Pull Request command.

Research direction
Start by tracing the GitHub Pull Requests: Create Pull Request command and the existing GitHub Pull Requests: Post Create setting, then identify where the initial creation panel is opened. Done means adding a setting that opens the creation form in a full tab instead of the sidebar by default, while preserving the existing creation flow.
