How to customize the touch bar in visual studio code?

Looking in the conventional place: View -> Customize Touch Bar... The option is not present. Is this option not currently available? I'd like to disable most of the options it provides is where I am going.

I continually accidentally press the Forward and Back buttons while editing and it has become annoying very quickly.

I figured I would ask while I attempt update my finger muscle memory.

I kept running into this issue as well and it was quite frustrating. I appreciate the ability to customize via an extension, but I really like the drag-and-drop mechanism provided universally (or nearly) that is missing here.

As a result, I ended up disabling the touch bar within VS Code by going to:

Code -> Preferences -> Settings 

and then:

Application -> Keyboard 

There you will find the checkbox for enabling/disabling the touch bar on macOS. Hope this helps someone else discover it quickly!
