Or just resize your window across three monitors: when your editor is 5000 pixels wide, you won't need a scroll bar.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Won't work for me. My wife took over my large desk, so I use my laptop on a little one! She has two monitors, so I'll thank you not to give her any ideas!

Why don't you just disable the scrollbar auto-hide? Or am I missing something?
It goes without saying

Googling exactly that, it doesn't seem possible. The most recent post I found talks about making it taller and a different color, but being able to always show it is one of those features people want but nobody has implemented.
Apparently. My google-fu could be off.

Cool. A crappy workaround (now I have a scrollbar 20 pixels high, yes I could make it shorter) for stupid UX design.
But not wanting to shoot the messenger, thank you!

Yay, editing obscure json config files to get it to do (almost) exactly what you want - Windows is slowly, but surely, turning into Linux!

That specific json isn't really obscure. It's the one that is behind the settings screen (user tab)

Set "text wrap" on? XML, XAML attributes on separate lines (option). Format document. Mouse wheel for vertical scrolling. Almost never have to scroll horizontal or touch scroll bars.

This is the standard behaviour also for any vertical Windows (as in Windows OS) scrollbar. And is terribly annoying - who the elephant wants auto hiding scrollbars ???

The same people who thought turning Windows into a tablet OS was a good idea.
They still haven't turned the clock back far enough.

It's as frustrating as spending 20 minutes trying to find your glasses when they're on top of your head. Dammit now I forgot what I was going to do.

It's called "a piece of string".

I'll have to research the string thing.

I was so going to rant about this a few months ago when I started using VSC (Visual Studio Code).
You explain the problem exactly. It takes a moment for it to appear and in that moment you click the edge of the window!!!!
It's so annoying!!!

???? My VS2019 is up to date and shows the horizontal scroll bar by default.
|
|
|
|
|
But .. why do you need to see the scroll bar? Simply hold Shift and use the scroll wheel to scroll horizontally
|
|

this has absolutely MADE MY DAY - who knew that shift-scroll was even a thing - thank you

XEROX PARC established visible scroll bars whenever the display area was larger than the window. This is a great visual that there's more information than can be displayed. Whoever decided it was a good idea to change this design is an idiot.

I think it was IE that had a resized scroll bar when hover over it. A design decision that for some seems great, but for me control elements with shape transforms are just distracting
|

Yeah, auto-hidden scrollbars are the worst. I want an at-a-glance indication if there's more context I need to be aware of.
