    Or just resize your window across three monitors: when your editor is 5000 pixels wide, you won't need a scroll bar. ;P

    GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

    Won't work for me. My wife took over my large desk, so I use my laptop on a little one! She has two monitors, so I'll thank you not to give her any ideas! :laugh:

      Yay, editing obscure json config files to get it to do (almost) exactly what you want - Windows is slowly, but surely, turning into Linux!

      That specific json isn't really obscure. It's the one that is behind the settings screen (user tab)

        Apparently some recent update made the horizontal scrollbar "auto-hide". So first you have to mouse-hover near it. But then the "resize window" up/down arrow shows up. It appears there is about a 2 pixel high region near the top of the horizontal scrollbar that is actually useable. I remember when these hidden scrollbars showed up in Ubuntu. Pretty much the reason I ditched Ubuntu. Such a time waster. Move mouse, hover, wait, click, oops, moved mouse when clicked, repeat.

        XEROX PARC established visible scroll bars whenever the display area was larger than the window. This is a great visual that there's more information than can be displayed. Whoever decided it was a good idea to change this design is an idiot.

          I think it was IE that had a resized scroll bar when hover over it. A design decision that for some seems great, but for me control elements with shape transforms are just distracting

            Yeah, auto-hidden scrollbars are the worst. I want an at-a-glance indication if there's more context I need to be aware of.

              If you happen to have a mouse wheel you can use it to scroll horizontally by holding the shift key down. Saves a lot of headaches. (so beat me to this, I see now, oh well). The delay for the hover to pop up can be adjusted in settings: "editor.hover.delay": 300,

                    Yes! Honestly, I have 4 monitors, WIDE ones. For the love of God... If I needed the extra 20 pixels THAT BADLY, I would buy a LARGER Monitor. Meanwhile the RIBBON is 30% of the height of the screen, and 4 times taller than the toolbars they replaced. Sometimes I think they are testing our patience!

                      The bigger problem is that SHIFT+WHEEL doesn't do horizontal scroll (at least on VS2019 16.0.3). The even bigger problem is that SHIFT+WHEEL doesn't work in Excel as well. But what can I expect from the company that waited until 2018 to give us the ability to save CSVs in Unicode format...
