VS Code - Is there a way you can make the Minimap bigger?

Question

I have enabled the MiniMap in Visual Studio Code (VSCODE) with the following code: "editor.minimap.enabled": true

But can I make it bigger? It's so small at the right.

Answer 1

thanks Alex there is a new setting from VSCode release 1.40.0 onwards:

"editor.minimap.scale": 2

before VSCode 1.40.0: there is no zoom-level for the minimap.

But i think the following settings is useful as it renders it schematically which looks much nicer than with true! Maybe this improves it! ;-)

"editor.minimap.renderCharacters": false

Answer 2

In the settings, you can set the width with

// Limit the width of the minimap to render at most a certain number of columns
"editor.minimap.maxColumn": 120

Answer 3

From vscode release 1.40.0

"editor.minimap.scale": 2,
