Feature request: Smaller and autohide scroll bars

I like to have the scrollbars automatically hidden if I don't use them.

It should be displayed only if I scroll or if I hover the area through the mouse pointer

Of course the width could be reduced to 16 pixels or a lower value, too.

At last but not least it would be nice if the line numbers could have a (smaller) fixed font size, so I'm able to zoom the content without zooming the line numbers and use a smaller size to have more space for the content.

Both adds more comfort if you work with a 50% wide window.

Please don't hide the scrollbars. They are a good indicator of how big the file is.

I think it would be no problem to hide it after the file is opened for a few seconds and as I said, as soon as you begin to scroll its displayed again.

This technique is used in mobile browsers and I like it really much.

Mobile browsers have very limited real estate to play with, your computer has much much more.

This depends on the resolution and usage. I'm using 2k and 2.5k monitors with two apps side-by-side (pspad left, browser right) and it would help in both resolutions to have as much as possible space for the content.

I really like the concept of this scrollbars (autohide, transparency, size, etc.):
