1. Navigate to the Settings area of VS Code:

  • Mac: Go to Code > Preferences > Settings or hit Command + ,
  • Windows: Go to File > Preferences > Settings or press Ctrl + ,

2. Enter “minimap” into the search bar then uncheck/check the checkbox next to “Controls whether the minimap is shown” to hide/show the minimap.

Your change will be automatically saved and applied right away.

That’s it. Happy coding and build awesome things with VS Code.
