In VS Code, can you display an inline diff of unstaged changes?
When there is unstaged change in the file I'm editing, VS code shows little red triangles and colored bars (green/blue) in the left margin. If I click on these, a popup opens showing a diff of that change, titled "Git local working changes".
Clicking the little icon with the mouse is tedious. Is there a way to trigger this popup for the current line, using the keyboard? If I knew the command name I could assign my own shortcut.

The command palette has entries[1] for "Show Next Change" and "Show Previous Change," with hotkeys listed as Alt+F3 and Shift+Alt+F3, respectively. You may also be interested in just paging to the next changes with (Shift+)Alt+F5.
| Palette | Keybind | Command |
|---|---|---|
| Show Next Change | Alt+F3 | editor.action.dirtydiff.next |
| Show Previous Change | Shift+Alt+F3 | editor.action.dirtydiff.previous |
| Go To Next Change | Alt+F5 |
workbench.action.editor.nextChangeworkbench.action.compareEditor.nextChange
|
| Go To Previous Change | Shift+Alt+F5 |
workbench.action.editor.previousChangeworkbench.action.compareEditor.previousChange
|
The search in the keybind editor (Cmd+K,Cmd+S) is not bad.
