I have updated VS code insiders for the latest version.
Now it shows below kind of new panel right side of the editor.Can you tell me what is that and how to remove it?
Open setting.json and set "editor.minimap.enabled" to false.
The mini-map provides a summary of your code for a quick navigation.
It is a feature!
the mini-map shows you the entire file/page you are working on. You
can quickly navigate it via the mini-map

I installed GitLens in VS Code. Then it asked if I wanted to try the GitLens+ features. I clicked "Yes". Now I am stuck at the welcome screen and can't get past it. Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying screen?
Uninstall gitlens extension. Productivity extensions shouldn't reduce productivity by putting up adds that can't easily be closed.
I had the same problem, but I was able to solve it by following the steps below.
Open the sidebar extension
Click the down arrow to the right of the uninstall
Install another version
Install 11.7.0
Reload
But there was no Gitlens in the sidebar
So next
"git lens: show welcome view" in the command palette
Select "git lenses layout" in "view" of "quick setup"
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
Then install the latest version
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
I hope it helps you even a little.
Go to VS Code command Pallete and select GitLens+: Sign out of Gitlens+
that should get you to the previous experience.
you can also use the the VSCode Command Pallete to display the views you want, such as
I think I had the same issue on Windows (now I'm on my mac) so I went back to Windows, created a new account, and started the trial since logging off of my account on Windows didn't result in that scenario.
I couldn't reproduce it on Windows either.
I'm thinking that might be a glitch, I'm sure you already tried to close VSCode and open again, so, maybe try to sign out and sign in again.
If you want to remove the "home" view, use the elipses on the top right and untick it. Also, check if the other views are enabled.
The problem here is that when we install GitLens extension then all the GitLens features and buttons are added under the generic source control tab (Ctrl+shift+G). Even though GitLens creates a new tab of its own and it looks like all features and buttons are hiding behind the welcome screen. This is not the case and everything but the welcome screen is under the generic source control tab. Poor design choice indeed.
Hide GitLens+ Features from the Command Palette GitLens+: Hide GitLens+ Features
To restore from the Command Palette GitLens+: Restore GitLens+ Features
Step 1. Uninstall GitLens
This avoids fiddling with settings to try to stop it being nag-ware.
Step 2. Install Git Graph
This has the nicest "railway-track" display of commits that I have come across, although the dev seems to be not responding to contact during 2022.
An alternative is Git History, which remains under active development, although its railway-track display is less compact and efficient.
My VS Code used to automatically close the welcome screen after opening a folder or workspace. After upgrading to the latest version, it no longer closes it and the welcome screen stays open.
I'm not sure what version I was using before upgrade but I think there's a setting somewhere to control this behavior.
Does anyone know where I can change this setting so that welcome screen automatically opens when I start VS Code but auto-closes after opening a folder or workspace.
Yes. There s a way.
Open VS Code and move to the settings page.
File Menu/Preferences/Settings
And then type welcome to search option key. After that you could see select option for welcome page when IDE loads.
Now choose your favorite one.

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)"
I have recently switched from Sublime Text to Visual studio code, but there is something that i truly miss, and it is the scroll bar at the top right corner of the which shows a smaller version of the file being edited (I don't know the exact name).
I find it pretty useful to navigate through my files, especially when i want to start deleting blocks of code i have commented out, before i submit my code.
Is there any plugin to get this on visual studio code, or is there any ongoing plans in order to implement it? Thanks!
Tracked in this feature request: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/4865
Just wondering if there is a way to get a tabbed view in VS Code (editor), and if not, is that feature yet to be added?
Update
Yes! VS Code 1.3.0 added this feature.
Original
Not as of v0.3.0, as far as I know.

Issue reporting: https://code.visualstudio.com/Issues/List
Yes to both of your questions.
It recently became available, if you are on the nightly Insiders release. This will soon be introduced into the product itself as well, most likely in early July.
First, download the Insiders release.
In VS Code Insider's top application menu, open Preferences >
User Settings, and then add the following setting "workbench.editor.showTabs": true
You then will have tabs enabled in your editor as shown below
The closest thing to the tabs concept tha i found is using Ctrl+Tab to navigate in the history of opened files.
VS Code v1.3.0 has tabs similar to that of sublime text.
But Tab switching is still the same as the previous version.
