After today 4.02.22 VSCode introduced the "Side panel" in update 1.64.0
It should give more flexibility and such, but in my case, it actually breaks my layout and takes the option that I was using out.
I have my layout - | Code | Terminal | Side bar |
Each in a column.
Now I cannot move the terminal anywhere but left as a column (before the code vide) and bottom.
Does anyone know how to revert this, or achieve my old layout?
Thanks
Testing this in Insiders today 02/09/2022. Put the Side Bar on the right and use the command View: Move Panel Right. In one workspace with the setting Workbench > Panel: Default Location : right it put the Panel to the right of the Side Bar (so far right) but triggering the command fixed that. Editor | Terminal (Panel) | Side Bar. And working if put on the left too.
They are working on a fix for the change wrought by v1.64, should be in Insiders v1.65 02/08/2022 and as a recovery build to Stable later the same week if all goes well.
So, I will be pushing a fix which is simply to bring back the ability
to move the, as some have called it, primary panel. The plan for this
fix is to release it into the insiders build tomorrow and the recovery
build for stable later this week. Going forward, we will continue to
improve the new side panel while playing nicely with the primary panel
in different locations. Future changes will always be in insiders
first, and we hope you continue to share your ideas with us.

Try creating a terminal in an editor "to the side" and then put the Side Bar on the right, like this:
There is a command: Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area to the Side.
And as you know the setting to put the Side Bar on the right.
If you want to create more terminals in the same column, click the little lock icon first to unlock that group and then you can add more terminals in the same editor group/column.
This might be as close as you are going to get for now. Upvote the issue about this.
I have another workaround to this:
As shown in the below image the Explore icon has the badge showing the count of my git changes.
I don't know how this happened some how unexpectedly I did something and this behaviour started.
How do I fix it and get the default behaviour of the git icon showing the changes count?
You accidentally moved the SOURCE CONTROL View to the Explorer bar.
Is this view not present in the SCM Bar?
I have tried to do it with the mouse but could not recreate. It created a new SCM icon in the Activity Bar with 1 view.
To move all the views to the default position execute command: View: Reset View locations
That Explorer icon badge is supposed to show the number of unsaved files with changes - it doesn't show the number of git changes except coincidentally.
I don't think the Explorer unsaved files count badge can be turned off. You can change its color or opacity but that would affect all badges (like the scm badge).
Thanks to this answer the GIF attached in answer was able to help me to fix the issue.
I just dragged the Source Control to the sidebar and it worked.
I have Git branch and status (pending commits to be pulled/pushed) listed in the top of the the Source Control window of VS Code:
I want to enable this on another PC, but can't figure out which extension or setting enabled this?
Note: The same informations is listed in the bottom blue status bar, but I find the top position more useful.
The VS Code documentation only describes the git status bar actions.
Ironically, the screenshot they post here has the feature set, while the next on posted here doesn't have it.
Just downloaded VSCode, ver 1.28 and the activity bar (left side) and the left side of the side bar are not there. This happened yesterday too, so uninstalled the program and tried again today.
I have no way to get to settings, debug, search, etc. Tried right clicking on black space and they don't show up, merely options to open a new file. If I do open (untitled) I still do not get that left part of the screen. I am comparing it to MS's user interface page (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface). Is it possible that I would have to change the resolution on my laptop?
Thanks.
From the menu bar at the top try
View/Apperance/Show Activity Bar
When the Activity Bar is visible, this option will show "Hide Activity Bar"
See screenshot
1.Simple go to the setting
2.Under the user settings search for Activity Bar.
3.You'd find it under the workbench.
4. Click the Activity bar visible and that's green and working.
Another way to loose Activity Bar is to accidently active Zen Mode. Check if
View/Apperance/Zen Mode
is checked and if so uncheck it.
You can also pull up the command pallet with
Ctrl + Shift + P
Then type/select
View: Toggle Activity Bar Visibility
Wondering if anyone can help and tell me what the icon is in the bottom left hand corner of the vs code window. I don't have it on mine and wondering if I need it.
Circled in red on the image.
Thanks
It's a Git Status, next to the git branch indicator.
Right-click on the status-bar and ✓check the Source Control option (After right-clicking on status bar ) if want it on your status bar,
Uncheck if you don't want.
That's the Git logo which is a version control app. I don't have it either but my guess is that it's a VS extension (not sure which git extension it exactly is). If you don't need version control then it's fine.
