Suggestion to Maximize Editing Area Space in Insider Version

Type: Feature Request

In the current Insider version, I have noticed that there is unused margin space on both the left and right sides of the editing area. I would suggest reducing or eliminating this unused padding to allow the editor to utilize the full width of the panel.
Additionally, the status bar located below the editing area appears to be taller than necessary. Could you please consider reducing its height to reclaim some vertical space?
Overall, my recommendation is to optimize the layout to provide more room for the editing area, as this would significantly improve the editing experience, especially when working with complex content.
