Vscode, git diff view: how show only changes

I'm new to VSCode and can't find online if is possible to have my favorite diff view mode: I want to see only the lines changed - and the closer ones - not the entire file with the highlighting of the changes.

E.g.: in the image I've deleted\added 2 lines: one at 8 and one at 90. I'd like to see only those changes, not the entire file.

Thanks

edit: there is now a button, in the toolbar at the top, to collapse/uncollapse unchanged parts of the file (even if you are still in a real text editor):

collapse unchanged parts of file

previous (no more accurate) answer:

I think that's not possible because what is provided here is a real text editor where you can edit the content of the file.

With the toolbar at the top...

vscode diff toolbar

... you could still:

  • go to previous/next change (Alt+Shift+f5/Alt+f5)
  • toggle to display inline diff

Add these properties in the settings.json file and restart VS Code.

"diffEditor.experimental.useVersion2": true,
"diffEditor.experimental.collapseUnchangedRegions": true,
