Research direction

Start at the editor's overview ruler configuration and related settings entry points; the issue does not name files or tests. Add a user option that disables the overview ruler, then verify in the VS Code editor that the right-side ruler disappears while normal scrolling remains.

Description

editor-scrollbar feature-request

Can you add an option to disable overview ruler entirely?
It's located underneath the right scrollbar, and I find it distracting, as there's symbols changing all the time.
