Vscode-gitlens: Add option to hide editor title buttons

[forivall]

It would be nice to have an option to hide the buttons in the editor title bar -- the ones in the split pane field.

it should be as simple as adding an option and then adding the option to the "when" option in the clause in the package.json @ https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/blob/4ddb871/package.json#L2701

for example, another plugin has exactly this kind of option: https://github.com/DonJayamanne/gitHistoryVSCode/blob/016e927/package.json#L187

You can customize them using the gitlens.menus setting -- or you can also use the GitLens interactive settings editor from the command palette; run GitLens: Open Settings. See the Menus & Toolbars section of the General group

Hope that helps!

What option in particular is to be selected? I cannot seem to find the way.

    "gitlens.menus": {
        "editorGroup": {
            "blame": false,
            "compare": false
        },

[gennaro-tedesco]

    "gitlens.menus": {
        "editorGroup": {
            "blame": false,
            "compare": false
        },

awesome, thank you.

Adding this doesnt seem to work..... :sob:

[rodrigograca31]

Any alternatives?

@rodrigograca31

Have you tried restarting vscode? It worked partially for me, I'm still stuck with the "Open changes" button. Why is it so hard to define which options we can setup somewhere?

[rodrigograca31]

@Rkokie Restarting did the trick! Thanks!

Also the JSON object above has a missing closing curly bracket...
And seems this is all you neeed:

"gitlens.menus":  false,

And yes it seems that "Open Changes" button can't be removed:

@rodrigograca31 @Rkokie The "Open Changes" button is from VS Code itself, not GitLens.

As mentioned above: https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/540#issuecomment-435561266

You can use the GitLens settings UI to easy toggle all of these settings:

@eamodio I couldn't find that at first, but now I see it's accessed via Gitlens nav, sorry for the inconvenience!
(I couldn't find it through the command palette either! maybe my vscode bugged out a bit)

This is almost impossible to figure out without reading the tips inside this issue. Is there no plan to make the settings (gitlens.menus) more user-friendly, so that they make sense to the user even if they try to search for it by proper keywords? (And I didn't find any "GitLens settings UI".)
