Make the code folding icons always show in Visual Studio Code

Question

Loving using Visual Studio Code but one peeve is that I always think my code isn\'t indented properly since the left edge of the actual editor is kind of far from the number

Answer 1

To change the color of the gutter, you can add following to the user settings:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorGutter.background": "#abcdef"
}

And to show folding icons:

"editor.showFoldingControls": "always"

Note that this setting requires you to have at least 1.13.
