VS code minimap “location highlighting”

问题

I was really excited to see VS Code finally added a minimap option for easier navigation. However, I've been really frustrated that the translucent rectangle showing your current location in a file only shows up when you hover over the minimap. A visual example of what I mean:

Without cursor: With cursor:

When using this feature in other editors, I find a lot of value comes from quickly seeing where I am in a file. Does anyone know if there is a setting/extension/hack that will keep the rectangle visible?

回答1:

From the stable version 1.14 (June 2017) there is an option in settings.json:

"editor.minimap.showSlider": "always"

It appears this is already being tracked in a feature request:

I can't see a way to do it without building VS Code from source as it's just a small change to the minimap.css file of setting the opacity: 0; to opacity: 1;

.monaco-editor .minimap-slider {
    opacity: 0;
    transition: opacity 100ms linear;
}

I can't override the default css from the user settings with "editor.minimap-slider.opacity": 1,

But I am a noob at this kind of hack.

Of interest to some may be that v1.43 added three new colorCustomizations that affect the minimap slider color, including opacity (last two digits in the settings:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {

  "minimapSlider.background": "#ff000060",
  "minimapSlider.hoverBackground": "#ff0000",
  "minimapSlider.activeBackground": "#2f00ff50"
}
