Move Visual Studio Code minimap to the left?

Is there a way to move the minimap in Visual Studio Code to the left side of the screen?

I have looked through all the documentation and cannot find an option for it.

Moving the minimap to the left was added in v1.20: minimum position



 "editor.minimap.side": "left"

No, but you can flip what you are trying to achieve: Menu Bar | View> Move Sidebar Right

You won't like this answer, but not yet.

I think they put it on the right so that it is next to the scrollbar, offering a second way to move to the file, close to the first.

But there is a feature request regarding this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/24395

Currently the only minimap options are:

// Controls if the minimap is shown
"editor.minimap.enabled": true,

// Controls whether the minimap slider is automatically hidden.
"editor.minimap.showSlider": "mouseover",

// Render the actual characters on a line (as opposed to color blocks)
"editor.minimap.renderCharacters": true,

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