Probably a stupid question, but I cannot find anything on this.
Normally my CSS selector/editor is always at the bottom, although this time its not and I'm not too sure about how to move it back down to its normal position.
Anybody able to help?
Click on the gear icon to open preferences tab of setting.
Before Change
Under Appearance section, set Panel Layout to 'horizontal'.
Panel Layout Change
After closing the settings, the CSS will be back at the bottom.

I know about shortcut Control + J but this hides the panel only for the time when I am coding. During compilation bottom panel reappears and terminal outputs its contents. Is there a way to hide the panel permanently?
The only thing I can think of is that you resize the panel to its minimal expression and add this to your settings.json:
"workbench.panel.opensMaximized": "never"
By looking at the options under "workbench.panel" I don't think there's a way to permanently hide it.
You could also move it to the right or left if that suits you better with:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "right"
Problem: Detaching the Outline section from Explorer and moving it to the right side.
Tried: right-clicking, changing the settings - cannot find where and how the Outline section be detached from Explorer.
Question: is it possible to detach the Outline Panel from Explorer Panel?
Is there another extension, which the same functionality as Outline, which could be placed on the right side?
Thank you!
This should be supported directly in VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022), with the new side panel.
New Side Panel
This milestone, we introduce the Side Panel, a new surface in the workbench to house views from the Side Bar or the bottom Panel appearing opposite the Side Bar.
Unlike the historical ability to move the bottom Panel to the left or the right of the editor, the new Side Panel works in addition to the bottom Panel so you can see more sets of views at once.
To use the Side Panel, you'll need to move some views over to it.
Based on one of our most upvoted feature requests, you might want to move Outline from the Side Bar to Side Panel.
You can do this by dragging and dropping the view into the Side Panel.
If the Side Panel is not open, just like the bottom Panel, dragging a view to the edge of the editor area, will pop it open.
Alternatively, you can use the Move View command for something more keyboard friendly.
Moving Outline View to the Side Panel:
Yes you can, click on the Outline Title Bar and you can move it to any other panel, even the bottom Problems/Terminal panel.
You don't need any special extension for it. Almost all panels can be moved around in VSCode
You cannot have a Floating Window however.
You also Cannot have Two Sidebars
If you want to have the sidebar to the right go to View - Appearance - Move Side Bar Right
As of now, no you cannot have two sidebars, this is the issue tracking that feature.
I can suggest an alternative, you can move the outline to the bottom panel, where the terminal is so that you can have both at the same time but just not as a sidebar.
like this:
or like this but attaching two Bottom Panel tabs together.
Here is a Demo on how to do it
So after a lot of searching, I finally came up with my own solution. Apologies in advance for the poor screenshot quality. I used Microsoft's Steps Recording not realizing the image compression would be so poor.
First, open up a new terminal (Ctrl+Shift+`)
Make sure that the terminal tab is active in the panel. Right click the terminal name on the right-hand side and select "Move into editor area.
"
You can then right-click the now-tabbed Terminal in your editor space and select "Split down."
Your editor should look like the image below. However, we're not done yet! Here's where the magic happens. Open another terminal.
Things will look weird but this is going to work.
Click the "Outline" header in the sidebar and drag it into the bottom terminal panel:
Sidebar > (Outline) > Terminal Panel
Next, right-click on the tab bar of the bottom panel and select "Move Panel Right"
Et voila! You should how have a sidebar on the left, and Outline on the right, and a Terminal on the bottom!
I am seeing the following panel in the result grid.
Based on the research I've done, for many people this panel is docked. However, in my application it's hidden then displayed upon hovering in that area. This has become very annoying because it's hard to use the scrollbar there.
I've looked all over in the preferences and toolbars but can't find a way to disable it.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of it altogether or make it static?
You probably activated the "hidden" mode. Klick on the small icon right beside the bar:
I don't know if this is the right place for it. Using Eclipse 4.6.2 on OSX, in the Java view, I used to have a bar on the bottom with Problems, Tasks, Console, Properties, etc. tab options. This bar is now small icons on the right. It appears on the bottom when I click on the right bar, but it disappears as soon as I click on any editing tab outside of it. Clicking and dragging the bar to the bottom doesn't have any effect. It has a restore-window style icon that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also finding that when I select a .java file, like in Problems or Call Hierarchy, it shows up on the bottom, when it used to pop up above the bottom section.
I've always gotten really confused whenever I've tried to mess with the default views/perspectives in Eclipse. I probably made this happen by mistake. I want to revert to the original behavior, but I'm not sure how. Any advice?
On the top there should be a "window" menu bar. If you look in the window bar you should get a "reset perspective" option.
Is there a setting to change the click behavior in the scrollbar to page up/down instead of jumping to the location in the file? This is the usual scrollbar behavior in almost every other applications except maybe unix applications.
A suggestion could be:
Left click: page up/down
Right click: jump to location
There is a setting for this now:
Editor: Scroll by Page
Controls whether clicks scrolls by page or
jumps to click position.
With that setting enabled, the editor will scroll by one viewport page when clicking anywhere above or below the scrollThumb. With it not enabled (the default) it will scroll to the position in the scroll track where you clicked.
This behavior does not currently exist. I suggest opening a feature request on github.
If, like me, you've been brought to this page despite putting "Visual Studio" into your web search, you can modify this behaviour in the full blown Visual Studio as follows:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > Scroll Bars
Under "Behavior", toggle between bar mode and map mode
More information can be found by reading the Microsoft Docs for this feature.
