Setting to allow scrollbars to ALWAYS be visible, if content + view size requires scrollbars #192305
Comments
With respect to editors only, there is an applicable setting:
Same for horizontal scrollbars. Affects editors only though. |
Thanks, that's a bit of an improvement! The one downside is that it shows all the time, even if the open file doesn't have more than one screen of content. I'd rather have this than nothing, though. |

.TLDR; Can we have a setting to make the scrollbars of every pane be visible and not disappear, if content requires scrollbars?
This should apply when applicable, similar to a web page. If there is no more vertical or horizontal content to show, then the scrollbar does not need to be visible/shown. If there is enough content that a scrollbar would be shown if the mouse moved, show the scrollbars.
If it is desirable to only enable a subset of panes, it could be a setting that takes an array of pane setting names/values for which to enable it. Perhaps
"*"
could represent enabling it for all.A similar setting exists to
Autohide
the minimap, if it is enabled, and this is disabled by default.Basically, it seems like an accessibility issue, or at least a difference of expectations, when the scrollbars disappear upon navigating to new windows or editor panes. The "expectations," having used mostly Windows, web browsers, and many other apps, is that the scrollbar remains visible. I know that some operating systems, I think OS X and now Windows 11, hide the scrollbar if the mouse isn't moving, but at least Windows 11 (maybe OS X?) has a system setting to "Always show scrollbars", and this is under
Accessibility
