Is there a way to configure the screen percentage of 'toggleEditorWidths' in VSCode?

When a hotkey is assigned to workbench.action.toggleEditorWidths and to workbench.action.focus[left,right,above,below]Group I can navigate groups easily with automatic resizing. The screen percentage of the focused group is too high, however.

enter image description here

Is there a way to configure the percentage of the focused pane? i.e. currently, I'd say it takes up ~90% and I'd like it to take up 55-65% so the other groups are still semi-readable. I'm trying to mimic the behavior of an Atom plugin I used a long time ago called "HeyPane" and I haven't been able to find any plugins with this behaviour

I don't think there is any built-in way to change that editor width when invoking the command workbench.action.toggleEditorWidths but you can produce the same result with a macro. Using a macro extension multi-command, put this into your keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "alt+o",                 // whatever keybinding you want
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": {
        "sequence": [
            "workbench.action.toggleEditorWidths",

            // as many as these as looks good to you
            "workbench.action.decreaseViewWidth",
            "workbench.action.decreaseViewWidth"
        ]
    }
}

This first toggles the editor widths (which goes too far for you) and then decreases by about 10% for each workbench.action.decreaseViewWidth. Just add as many of those commands as you want into the keybinding.
