Who is using the mini-map in #VSCode and what for?

Life with Visual Studio Code #VSCode
1. I learned about `code --disable-extensions. This helped pinpoint the selection issue to most probably an extension.
2. I have removed most of the extensions. I have Go, Java, Python, XML, YAML. Go is from Google, Java from Oracle, Python from MS, XML & YAML from RedHat. This is very interesting!

Since, it improved immensely. Now I have a couple of days of coding on some small Go projects that felt good.
I am still struggling with shortcuts. In particular `F12` and `Ctrl- -`. I am sticking with the defaults for now.

I continue to use #VSCode with my #Go projects.
It’s decent enough to feel okay.
I did switch to #Vim bindings.

You are a vim/neovim user. You have a few plugins installed.
How do you remind yourself of those that you are not using on a regular basis?
I guess the question applies to any text editor or IDE.
