Please provide a setting in the config.json to:

  • make it permanently visible (not only on hovering with the mouse)
  • there should be something int the config like: "verticalScrollBarAlwaysVisible" or something similar

Why should users use this?

The new behaviour of the vertical scrollbar in windows terminal provides no advantage. It's confusing the users.
Many users want to use windows terminal as replacement for the dos box and this new behaviour drives them crazy.

Example:
"defaults":
{
"scrollBarState" : "visible",
"verticalScrollBarAlwaysVisible" : true
}
... and this makes it always visible
