My commit messages get very long, and I need to navigate diffs to help me write them. I have a wide screen. It's frustrating that my commit message draft and source view have to share a column, requiring a lot of painful scrolling in each of them, when if they each had their own column, it would be much easier to read a lot of source and write a long commit message at the same time.
Preferred solution
Add a "Right" and "Left" option (in addition to "Top" and "Bottom") to "Commit creation message position" section of settings, which would have the effect of giving the commit message draft its own column either on the right or the left of the commit creation page.
Alternatives
A description of any alternative solutions or enhancements considered.
Screenshots
Look at the limited space I have available to browse the diff contents while writing my commit message (which also is long enough to require scrolling).
