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

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

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

 "editor.minimap.side": "left"

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

Minimap.Side Added to MS Code

The option to move the Minimap to the left or right side of the screen has been added. See this from the release notes:

Display minimap to the left:

There is a new setting, editor.minimap.side, which can be configured to render the minimap (code outline) on the left.

STEPS

  1. Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P on macOS)
  2. Search for and open User Settings
  3. See the Default Settings document is open
  4. Find the property "editor.minimap.side": "right",
  5. Hover your mouse over the property to see the edit icon appear
  6. Click the edit icon to edit the property (in the right panel)
  7. Set property to "left" or "right"
  8. Save your changes
