I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.
A bit like CSS Peek (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pranaygp.vscode-css-peek). I use that often.
