Does VS2017 (Enterprise, in my case) have a mini-map feature as Visual Studio Code added this year? I looked when the minimap was released for VS Code, thinking the senior Visual Studio editions would have it, but apparently not.
Looked again today, but after an hour of searching on here and Google (as well as looking over the items in Productivity Power Tools 2017) I still can't find barely even a mention of the concept in conjunction with VS2017.
I can see how a mini-map doesn't seem very useful on low-resolution screens (a few things I found were about how other visualization strategies are supposedly better), but with a 4K/5K/8K display, I'd think it would be stellar, as long as you could resize the minimap so that code was legible.
Bottom line - If I want to use an editor with a minimap feature, do I have to downgrade from Enterprise to Visual Studio Code (am I the only one who finds that insane), or is there a plugin or hack I could use?

To enable VS Code's Minimap, set "editor. minimap. enabled": true to turn on the rendering of a Minimap for the current file.
Tip: You can move the minimap to the left hand side or disable it completely by respectively setting "editor.minimap.side": "left" or "editor.minimap.enabled": false in your user or workspace settings.
Map mode displays lines of code, in miniature, on the scroll bar. You can choose how wide the map column is by selecting a value in Source overview. To enable a larger preview of the code when you rest the pointer on the map, select the Show Preview Tooltip option.
Yes, Visual Studio got this minimap already since VS 2015. See the scroll settings where you can switch it on.
