Currently, my cursor status is as follows. [스크린샷 2024-06-06 오전 10.36.49] But I want the following appearance. Is it possible to set it up separately? [스크린샷 2024-06-06 오전 10.37.43]

Here, set the “Activity Bar: location” parameter to “side” and “Activity Bar: Orientation” = “vertical” .

Is there anyway to get the cursor panel to live in one of these “Activity Bars” instead of in the right pane?

Hey, you should be able to just drag it over by the ‘Chat’ or ‘Composer’ heading! You may have to set the orientation like @Kevin93 mentioned first, then swap it back once it’s added in. [Screen Recording 2025-02-20 at 15.15.58] I apologise for the blue squares on the GIF, no idea whats happened …

cmd + , (comma) cmd + v → “activityOrientation” set it vertical [image]

This is, hands down, the dumbest change I’ve ever seen. At least let those of us coming over from vscode have our setup not change and THEN give us the option. All the bull**** I had to go though to find this and fix it really puts me off on the product

How can I make my sidebar look like Vscode?

I resolved the issue by adding the code "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical". Thank you!
