configure sidebar to be able to scroll horizontally visual studio code

Question

How can I make sidebar scrollable horizontally? Otherwise long file names can't be seen if I don't increase the sidebar width manually every time I need. Check the screenshot below:

Answer 1

v1.22 released in April, 2018 has just added the ability to add horizontal scrolling to various tree elements, like the explorer pane. Horizontal scrolling support.

// Controls whether trees support horizontal scrolling in the workbench.

  "workbench.tree.horizontalScrolling": true, (deprecated, don't use) 

False is the default so you will need to change the setting. A restart is required.

UPDATE: vscode v1.32 just changed the setting to:

"workbench.list.horizontalScrolling": true, 

Workbench > List: Horizontal Scrolling in the settings UI.
