There's a little column to the right of your code window which shows all of your code at a huge glance. It's kinda handy to click to jump to a certain portion if you have a large file....ultimately, especially when I have 2 windows side by side, it takes up a lot of useful space. Anyways I can remove this? (Having a hard time researching it because I don't even know what it's called)
Okay...I tried some different search terms and found this article.

It's called "minimap".

As you can see, while I type I get shown the signature of the function and the suggestion. But very often they cover each other.
Moreover, suggestion cover a lot of lines below the line I'm currently in, which could NOT be useful (e.g. I'd like to refer to them)
Is there a way to fix both issues? like pushing floating windows on the rightmost part of the currently window, where probably there are fewer lines of code ?
I think It could be really useful
it's not neovim version's problem.
That's all, sometimes I miss I could do that while working on different parts of a kinda long script or whatever... So I think it'd be nice if, as we can do in a spread sheet by fixing a row for example, we could quickly define certain part of the code we want always visible and then can scroll to any other part of the script while still being able to see such "fixed" lines of code as a reference, copy, etc.
It seemed to me that it could be an already existing feature, but I've been not able to find anything... not even an extension, but maybe someone here knows? Well, I hope it makes sense and thanks in advance!
How about spliting the editor?
Hard to guess for how large "sticky" portion of code you are actually aiming, but if it is just, say, function "signature line" or nesting header in general, you may try experimental "Editor sticky scroll" (editor.experimental.stickyScroll.enabled) feature that was just released in VSC v1.70:

I am having a hard time on VS code due to issues with the cursor. It keeps jumping around while I am typing and makes a mess of my codes. I have tried reloading the window and even restarting my system multiple times but its no help at all. I have also disabled my extensions to no avail.
Secondly, when I copy and paste my codes from one file to another, it all gets jumbled up and almost impossible to rectify as my cursor wont even let me type.
I would appreciate any help with this as I have struggled for months now with no success and this is my last resort. I look forward to your kind help. Thanks
I'm using a Sigasi eclipse plug in to program and simulate VHDL through Eclipse. However, at present I'n only using the free version, which supports projects up to a certain size. This size is handily indicated by a provided "codometer" widget in the bottom left hand corner - however, its half hidden and a lot of the time unreadable - see picture!
Despite using the drag bar to move it around - I only ever see half of the number and I can't read it well enough to see how much space I have - is there a setting in Eclipse or Sigasi to fix this ? It doesn't cause any problems itself but has become very irritating!
Thanks,
David
(If anybody else ever has this problem)
Not a complete solution to this (despite spending several hours going through Eclipse settings!), but as an intermediary, I found by chance that if you hover your mouse over the partially displayed widget it gives a breakdown of how much space you have used out of your 32kB project size limit - as shown below.
There is a nice feature called "show selected element only" in Eclipse. When it's turned on, clicking on a method in the outline pane will show just this method only in the editor, allowing to focus on this one only, especially useful in that you don't need to worry about scrolling hard and overshooting this method when there are many nested parenthesis inside.
But sometimes I would like to have a glance of more codes around here, so have to turn this off, then back, time and time again, which is quite inconvenient. So I wonder if there is a better mechanism?
I know a built-in feature called "range indicator" (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7049098/how-to-forbid-eclipse-to-highlight-current-method-class-in-the-margin) , but I always tend to overlook that because it's too thin.
One better solution I can imagine is using distinguished background color for currently investigated method body, and when move cursor to other methods, background highlight turn to them accordingly (works like the range indicator, but renders more obviously). In this way, both navigation flexibility and reading assistance are gained.
Is this solution possible?
Take a look at the Editbox plugin.
You might have to do a bit of tweaking to the colors to set it up. Here is a sample screenshot :
Is this what you wanted ?
Yes, with editbox and the following settings may suit your need.
