Description
If you go to Setting - General on macOS, you have the following option to show/hide scroll bars.
You can see how this works by using Finder with the different options.
This also has an effect on most of the macOS applications but not on MacVim.
Are there any plans to add this? Or maybe start by implementing options that have to be set manually in MacVim?
