I did the following in Visual Studio Code:
settings.json => "editor.minimap.enabled": true
Open 2ed files side by side (windowed mode)
Minimap exists in both windows
This takes up too much room, but I still want to use the Minimap when I'm editing a single file in a single window. Is there a way to have the Minimap enabled for a single file, but disabled in side-by-side "Windowed" mode?
Toggle minimap command has been added since vscode 1.16. Hit command + shift + p and select View: Toggle Minimap.
There is no way to do this in VS Code. Currently there is only the "editor.minimap.enabled": false setting which can be true or false and either always enables the minimap or always disables it.
Unfortunately, as shown in this issue, there is also no "toggleMinimap" command to assign to keybindings.
You might find this extension useful, though, as it can be used to create a toggle minimap command:
settings:
"settings.cycle": [
{
"setting": "editor.minimap.enabled"
}
]
keybindings.json:
{
"key": "ctrl+shift+t",
"command": "settings.cycle.workbench.colorTheme",
"when": ""
}
Simplest way is go to:
View -> Toggle Minimap
Update:
In newer versions:
View -> Show Minimap
To remove/disable/hide VS Code Minimap,
Go to the View tab and uncheck this: View > Show Minimap
1) Go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
2) type in "View: minimap"
3) right click and add a key binding.
I like to use ctrl+m ("m" for minimap)
If there are existing key bindings, you can use another one, or click the existing one(s) listed, then right click them and remove the binding before repeating steps 2 and 3 above.
New option available,
View-> Show minimap (uncheck)
In Visual Studio Code Version 1.41.1. Go to
Files >> Preferences >> Settings
Select
Text Editor >> Minimap >> Uncheck Enabled checkbox
I didnt find "minimap", instead I found:
[Options]>>[Text Editor]>>[All Languages]>>[Scroll Bars]>>Behavior>>"Use map mode for vertical scroll bar"

This beauty appeared after a recent update, and it is very distracting to me.
I searched through the menus, but didn't find any setting to remove it. Is there any way to banish it from the editor?
This is called the minimap, and, as stated in that link,
If you would like to disable minimap, you can set "editor.minimap.enabled": false in your user or workspace settings.
Once you save the settings file, the minimap will be gone.
You can also toggle the minimap from the Command Palette. You can go to 'View' and select Command Palette or just Ctrl+Shift+P and type in the word 'minimap', you will instantly get the option to toggle the minimap.
Click on "File" -> "Preferences" -> "Settings"
After Settings open, in "search settings" or press "Ctrl+f" type "editor.minimap.enabled" this will take you direct to the settings. On left of it edited option will be available right click to it. And set it to "false"
After wards you can see the right side pane is hide.
Ctrl + Shift + P write Toggle minimap and hit enter and it's gone.
While all the answers here will accomplish what the original question asks, they are showing a dated, manual way of hiding the minimap. Current versions of Code have a "Toggle Minimap" item in the View menu, which will hide the minimap without the need to edit anything manually in User Settings.
That view is called Minimap. To toggle, goto:
Toolbar -> View -> Toggle Minimap
I know of 3 ways to show/hide it.
View -> Show Minimap
Ctrl+Shift+P -> Toggle Minimap
Settings.json -> "editor.minimap.enabled": false
I also made a Youtube tutorial here demonstrating all three ways.
In VS,
Click on View on the top toolbar,
Then you will get a pop up, unselect --- Show minimap
Oowekyala's answer is correct. I am adding a description with image for better understanding. Here is the number from 1 to 5 that describe the steps. Firstly click on File->Preferences->Settings. Then you will get User Setting page. Next, type "editor.minimap.enabled" in the search box(step-4). you will get setting option. On left of it edited option(step-5) will be available right click to it.
Go to Preferences->Settings Under text-editor dropdown go to Minimap and there uncheck the enable of a minimap.
This thing is called minimap
to toggle is on and off
crtl+p
then search for ">minimap"
then just click enter
And if you again want to use it, repeat above step's again
Simply Click F1 a text box will appear search for minimap
and select View:Toggle MiniMap
2022 Update
The latest 2022 version of VS Code (1.73.0) now makes this even more simpler. Simply do the following to remove the minimap:
Right click anywhere on the minimap and toggle the Minimap option.
To reactivate the minimap, right click anywhere on the scroll bar and toggle the Minimap option.
From the View menuitem in Visual Code main menu, click on Toggle Minimap
On Windows.
Visual Code version 1.20.1
On Mac: Code - Preferences - Settings, and in the right panel add the following line:
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
Please care the commas, this file needs them after each but the last line. (It will warn you if a comma is missing.)
Tools -> option ->Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars -> Behavior
toggle between the 2 options (use bar mode .. & use Map mode ... ) given that "Show vertical scrollbar " option is checked.

Tab key is not working for abbreviation in visual studio code.I have tried lot.How can I fix the problem?I am frustrated.Thinking of using Bracket instead of visual studio code.
In my case
Using (Ctrl + M) return Tab button to its normal working status.
I think you may be asking about this setting:
// Insert snippets when their prefix matches. Works best when
'quickSuggestions' aren't enabled.
"editor.tabCompletion": true,
That is set to false by default, change it to true.
Don't change any keyboard shortcut or something else. You should change the language mod right bottom on the editor. It was selected javascript by default. You should change with Javascript React after that this changes all emmets suggestions is working.
For Visual Studio code version 1.33, go to File > Preferences > Settings Search for tabcompletion and by default it is off, select on, that is it, you are done.
Pressing Ctrl+M did not disable the mode for me, however the right side of the bar along the bottom of vs-code shows Tab Moves Focus as enabled, which you can click to disable.
I have recently moved to Visual Studio Code and have a question that I have found an answer for.
When I split the editor it shows the focused file on both sides of the split.
I want the focused file to be moved with the split rather than showing a duplicate view.
Is there a setting or an extension that I can use to do this split / move?
Try the Move Editor into next Group command:
{
"key": "ctrl+cmd+right",
"command": "workbench.action.moveEditorToNextGroup"
}
on mac default shortcut is:
control+command+ -> or <- arrow ;-)
on Windows, vscode v1.59.0
To move file to right side
click on file to focus:
ctrl+alt+right arrow
To move file to left side
click on file to focus:
ctrl+alt+left arrow
Personally, i always used ctrl+enter combination to open the next file in the side editor. So far, it is the most recommended way that I always use.
In Ubuntu (20.04) the keybindings are the same as in windows:
ctrl + alt + right and ctrl + alt + left however gnome blocks these keybindings. In order to liberate them, run the following in the terminal which changes your gnome settings:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "[]"
After that, it should work.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/6197
Windows: Ctrl-Alt-X
File -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts.
Search "move editor" for wider set of options, or as in the attached image search "move editor into"
I can't find any option, setting, or keyboard shortcut that disables or hides that annoying scrollbar. I just don't find it useful and it's distracting.
Can't just edit the editor's CSS like Atom, either.
Remove Minimap
Add the following to your settings.json file
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
Note that, as pointed out in another answer, this process has now been simplified to:
View->Show Minimap
Remove the Overview Ruler
Add the following to your settings.json file
"editor.hideCursorInOverviewRuler": true
This will keep the scrollbar, but will result in it only appearing when the cursor is within the editor, as seen in the image below:
Completely remove scrollbars (requires restart)
If you would like to completely remove the scrollbars, add the following to your settings.json file (note the editor will say "Unknown configuration setting" - ignore this. It will still work):
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
This will result in the scrollbars not being visible even when the cursor is in the editor, as seen in the image below:
Ctrl + Shift + P -> Open User Settings
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
Try this,
view->toggle minimap
or after version 1.43
view->show minimap
Removing the scroll bar
These no longer work:
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
However, this will set the size of the scroll bar to 0:
"editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize": 0,
The toolip says "Unknown Configuration Setting" but it works for me.
(Visual Studio Code 1.39.2)
So this is an unofficial method as instructed on accepted answer by #badfilms. You can read about it here
After adding, restart vscode:
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
This gives and "Unknown configuration settings", ignore it.
Then to remove the scrollbar seperator or ruler border, add this:
"editor.overviewRulerBorder": false
Goto View and deselect Minimap.
tested Visual Studio version: VS Community 2017 Version 15.8.2
Tools --> Options
Search for "scroll"
click on "Text Editor" title from the results on the left side.
click "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar" under "Behavior" section and then click "OK"
Here is a screenshot:
You can toggle it from the top bar "View > Show Minimap",
But you can also define it as a keyboard shortcut!
Go to: "File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts"
Search: "Minimap"
Select: "View: Toggle Minimap"
Select the keyboard you wish to link (I used Ctrl+M)
In Visual Studio 2019
Right click on the scroll bar and select "Scroll Bar Options" from the context menu.
This will display the settings for the Scroll Bars.
Under the Behavior heading halfway down, select "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar" then click Ok. This removed the map mode from the bar.
View --> Show Minimap -click it to uncheck it-
Just to update the situation, in the past the settings mentioned above worked, despite showing an unknown configuration error, after a reload, because they had not been officially exposed to users. With v1.58 these settings will be "official" and not require a reload.
editor.scrollbar.vertical - 'auto' | 'visible' | 'hidden'
editor.scrollbar.horizontal - 'auto' | 'visible' | 'hidden'
editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize - number
editor.scrollbar.horizontalScrollbarSize - number
editor.scrollbar.scrollByPage - boolean
See Expose editor scrollbar options and react to them being updated.
once you go to the user setting it has default setting left had side as bellow and
there is a pensile mark on where click and automatically appear true false then right had side custom setting change. Thats how I did it thanks Alexandru.
think this may help you.
Default value of Scroll Beyond Last Column is 5 which does horizontal scrollbar visible and operate. Set the value to 0 removes horizontal scrollbar.
Settings options
for hidden scroll bar add into setting.json
`"window.scrollBarVisibility": "hidden",`
for hidden minimap add :
"editor.minimap.enabled": false,
For all projects
Write to a search settings:
Then change this values as on screenshot:
I love Visual Studio Code but I hate the little lightbulb. It seems to clash with the dropdown when you Ctrl+. on word.
How do you disable the lightbulb in Visual Studio Code?
Just to clarify - I always use the Ctrl+.. But on the first time when I try to navigate down the drop down menu the menu disappears and the lightbulb re-appears. I then have to Ctrl+. again to go down the drop down list and get the selection I want. I just want to disable the lightbulb itself, not other functionality such as the quick fixes.
There's a new option that you can use to disable that. Go to your settings file and add:
"editor.lightbulb.enabled": false
Go to: > File >Settings
Enter "bulb"
Click on the checkmark to remove it.
Seems to me that the arrangement of the lightbulb has changed since the answers above. In my version of VS Code, the easiest way to disable or enable the lightbulb is to just type lightbulb on the Setting search bar.
Go to Setting
Type "lightbulb" or "bulb" on the Setting's search bar,
Check or uncheck the "Enable the code action lightbulb in the
editor"
If you don't want to use the search bar: go to
File > Preferences > Settings > Text editor
Then scroll down the list to find "Enable the code action lightbulb in the editor". Check or uncheck as you prefer.
I'm not sure what you mean. You want to disable the visual element of the lightbulb? Or you want to eliminate "quickFix" altogether?
There is this keybinding which triggers the same action as the lightbulb:
{
"key": "ctrl+.",
"command": "editor.action.quickFix",
"when": "editorHasCodeActionsProvider && editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
}
If you are wanting to disable the keyboard shortcut you could do that by adding this line to keybindings.json
"key": "ctrl+.", "command": ""
If you want something ELSE mapped to "ctrl+.", then you can put that command in the command above.
If you're wanting to disable the lightbulb itself from appearing, I don't think that is possible.
