This trait made it difficult to reach some actions shown in the hover. Prior to this revision, the editor was aggressive in hiding itself, especially when mousing over an empty area of the editor. Version 1.72 also improves hovering, with the hover now visible as long as the mouse is moving toward it. Previously, when selecting and dragging, scrolling was dependent on the display’s FPS, making the editor scroll quickly as soon as the mouse reached its edges. The editor now autoscrolls at a more manageable speed of about one viewport per second when the mouse is close to the edges, and quicker when the mouse is further from the editor, independent of the FPS (frames per second). Hidden actions are moved to the More Actions menu and can be invoked from there. Users can right-click on any action in a toolbar and choose its hide command or any of the toggle commands.

Toolbar customization in VS Code 1.72 lets developers hide actions from the toolbar.
