Show horizontal scrollbar in the files explorer

It would be nice to have horizontal scroll on explorer sidebar, especially when you are working on a project with deeply nested files

This is a huge User experience penalty for me. Especially when i have files that have similar starting names.

Right now, i have to manually drag the "Text Editor" area whenever i want to look for specific file names.

Atom allows us to scroll horizontally within the "explorer". I don't understand why VSCode does not have a basic UI like this.

Hope to see it soon!

Im also in favour of this idea.

In the meantime i'm working around it by having a large explorer but hiding/showing it with Cmd + B (Windows is Ctrl + B). You can also open the explorer window with Cmd+Shift+E and switch to search with Cmd+Shift+F. These might be useful for anyone else coming across this issue.

These shortcuts combined with Cmd+P to jump straight to the file i'm after is proving good enough for now. Nevertheless I think having an (optional?) horizontal scroller would be a nice addition.
