How to remove top section in Visual Studio Code - visual-studio-code

I'm currently using vscode 1.36 and there is a top section that I want to hide, but I can't find any setting to perform this.
Click here for the screenshot
the X on the right won't fix the problem
I've already searched on Google but found nothing interesting except writing custom css using an extension. I don't like this approach.
Note that I've disabled tabs using this setting:
"workbench.editor.showTabs": false

right click context menu in vs code executes immediately

When I right click in the editor, vs code executes whatever menu item the cursor happens to be over. It happens far too fast for me to make my actual choice known.
I have already spent 30 minutes trying to find a solution. If you search for "right click" in the Command Palette, you are told there are no matches. You don't get any hits in the docs, either. Please advise. Thank you.
It has been reported that the situation you mentioned is a bug in the repository on GitHub. It is reported that Visual Studio Code works fine when zoom is disabled.
You can update the following setting to override this behavior:
"editor.mouseWheelZoom": false
Or you can update the mouseWheelZoom setting from the pop-up window by using the shortcut CTRL + , to go to Settings.
It's crazy, but this is still an issue for Linux users after so many years. Especially, when using a Laptop with touch-pad it makes VSCode frustrating to use. The problem occurs when you use "native" window style (you can tell, because the theme will not be applied to context menus) and have a non-default zoom.
The GitHub issue that #sercan linked to has a few solutions. In order to save you some time, there is basically two things that I found work and make sense:
Set your zoom level to default / 0. In settings.json add: "window.zoomLevel": 0 This works with all window styles, but obviously is not always viable
Change the title bar style from native to custom. In settings.json add: "window.titleBarStyle": "custom" This will change how the title bar but also the context menus look. Setting this, you can zoom in again

VS Code showing "type/arguments" in editor as labels

I just installed VS Code 1.60.0-insider.
At first I thought it was a bug, but now there are type/arguments hinds/labels in the editor:
(predicate:, callbackfn:, etc.)
How is this called and how to disable it? I searched online but couldn't find any information.
Note: they only appear in TypeScript files.
try use this instruction inside of settings.json, this working well for me.
"editor.inlayHints.enabled": false

How to hide/unhide comments with Microsoft VSCode?

I have a code with many comments, how can I hide these ones, but no delete, I need them after.
I need to hide all the comments in one click, not a simple collapse one
Can't find such feature as well.
Read this issue from GitHub - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/46505
Seems like that VSCode can't do it (from the box) and all people waiting for that feature.
I was looking for a way to do that too as I put way too many comments making it hard to debug... and I came across this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eliostruyf.vscode-hide-comments it makes all the comments invisible, but it leaves special characters in place. There are also commands to toggle show/hide.
Hide Comments - Visual Studio Marketplace
We now have an extension for that. On the editor title, a toggle action is available to show/hide the comments quickly.
You can download from inside Visual Studio 2022 called unobtrusive code and it will hide all comments and put "+" symbols on the collapsed line to the left of your code that you can open or close them with. It works great.
*** TO GET THE EXTENSION: ***
I went to the Extensions menu at the top of VS 2022 and chose manage extensions.
Then in the manage extensions window that opens up, choose online then Visual Studio Marketplace. In the search at the top right of the manage extensions window type in unobtrusive code. download it and then exit Visual Studio. You should see a window pop up to install it.
When you start VS 2022 again and open a C# script, it should have all the comments minimized to the "plus symbols" to the left of the code!
Hope it works for anyone wanting to hide their comments.

How to show breadcrumbs on Visual studio Code?

I made this window disappear. How do I recover it?
Those are called breadcrumbs in most IDEs. In VSCode, it's no different.
Find the setting by going to your settings and searching "Breadcrumbs".
If you choose to not use the fancy settings editor, you can manually add this to your configuration:
"breadcrumbs.enabled": true
Update
As of May 2019 (version 1.35), breadcrumbs are enabled by default in VSCode. They can still be toggled using the steps outlined above.
Beware that even if you have breadcrumbs turned on in settings and the Language is selected, you will have to save the file in order to get breadcrumbs in VS Code 1.52.1
I'd like to add one more thing to Ian MacDonalds answer:
You can simply toggle them within the "View"-menu View > Toggle Breadcrumbs :

Enabling auto scroll in Visual Studio Code

Is there any way that we can enable auto scroll in Visual Studio Code? I have been looking in the settings but could not find anything(unless i missed something).
I am reviewing a log file and as it gets updated, its refreshed on my side. But it is not showing the latest logs but just stays where my cursor was and highlights everything that gets populated after that.
Had the same problem but did not find a setting within VS Code.
However there is an extension for VS Code:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pejmannikram.vscode-auto-scroll
Works quite well for me.
There's now a built in VSCode setting - you can untick Smart Scroll option (output.smartScroll.enabled).
As described here:
VSCode: Turn auto scrolling permanently ON
"An option to turn off the smart scroll feature was included in one of the recents update (probably in the March 2020 update, I didn't found this on the changelog), see more: issue #69480
Since then, I've been able to "save" the scroll state, try this:
Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or Ctrl + ,)
In Features > Output, disable Smart Scroll option (or search output.smartScroll.enabled)"
