Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video I will show you how to
0:04
toggle this uh mini map that you see
0:06
right in the right hand corner of the
0:08
screen in VS Code. This is really
0:10
distraction. I personally hate this. It
0:13
doesn't feel like it is adding any kind
0:15
of value to my coding session in VS
0:17
Code. So if you just want to hide this
0:20
because it is also consuming a lot of
0:22
space as well. So you can go to the
0:24
option inside your menu of view and go
0:27
to appearance and right here you will
0:30
see this option of mini map.
0:33
So just want to disable this option.
0:36
So go to view and then appearance and
0:39
then toggle this option off. As soon as
0:42
you do this you see no more mini map is
0:45
there. I don't know why they added this
0:48
mini map feature in VS Code. It's really
0:50
confusing. And also at the same time
0:53
very distracting as well. So now you can
0:55
see it is disabled. And if for some
0:57
reason you want to reenable this you
0:59
again need to say this like this. So now
1:02
it will be there mini map. And one more
1:06
shortcut key is that control shift P and
1:09
just writing here mini map and
1:13
again it will toggle.
1:17
So in this easy way you can hide or show
1:20
mini map in VS code very easily.
1:24
I personally disable it. I don't want to
1:26
see mini maps. So I basically don't show
1:29
it.
