Ability to make minimap movable to left side of screen

I agree, why was this feature removed?

Please do this!

 Agree, this was great feature!

Please bring this feature back. Diff tools like Beyond Compare have made me rather used to having a minimap on the left side of the screen.

If moving it is a pain a quick way to toggle it on or off would also be helpfull. The minimap is nice but it chews up screen realestate while editing and also makes it difficult to see when lines extend to the right under the minimap. In addtion, like line numbers, meta data should be kept to the left and data to the right.
