Description

Feature suggestion. Implement some keyboard button+Click combination on a file in Git Sidebar to Open File (not Open Change, which is being used by default by just clicking on a file). For example: Ctrl+Click (Command+Click), Option+Click (Alt+Click) or something like that.

Make a life a bit easier for a user when he tries to open files, which has been already edited by him, for further edition. :)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the SCM view implementation in vscode/src/vs/workbench/contrib/scm. Look for how click handlers are bound to files in the Git extension, and add altCommand support to open files instead of changes. Consider using event modifiers like altKey or ctrlKey.
