Please add "Diff Editor: Render Side By Side" to the Command Palette or to the diff view's context menu, or to the both places

When dealing with the diff view, sometimes it is more preferable to see the diff (changes) inline rather than side by side. It completely depends on the nature of changes in each particular file, so the option hidden somewhere under Settings -> Text Editor -> Diff Editor is not a good way to change this setting frequently, on-the-fly, by demand.
If such an option existed in the Command Palette or in the diff view's context menu, or in the both places, it would be much more handy.

It is in the editor menu when viewing a diff. Do you see it there?

I see.
Here is the situation:

• the "Inline View" indeed exists for the Diff View when you click a newly modified file under the Source Control -> Changes,
• the "Inline View" does not exist when the similar Diff View is opened from the Source Control -> Source Control Graph (that shows the history of the changes).
  I believe, "Inline View", as well as "Show Whitespace differences," should be present in both these cases.
