I hit some shortcut and I can't find the setting the turn it off. But opening multiple files doesn't show different tabs.
Here's what I'm seeing
But this is what I'm expecting when I open a new tab

If I got it right this must be your case: check here. You just need to set this in your configuration file
"workbench.editor.showTabs": false
I also think that in this question the exact opposite is being asked
Hope that some of these help
On a mac, if both of the existing answers didn't work, you can try command + ctrl + w, worked for me.
The accepted answer didn't work for me for some reason. But the answer found here: How to config vscode to open files always in a new tab? did.
In short:
In the menu bar, click on File, Preferences, Settings.
Then add this to your settings:
"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false
try command + ctrl + w in Mac, it works fine
If you are using VSCODE , try this command + ctrl + w
By mistake i tap on mac ctrl + command + w button on visual studio code then open file tabs hide.
Then i tap same button Ctrl+ Cmd + w then its again shows
This feature is toggled with the command “View: Toggle Tab Visibility”.
Internally, it is known as workbench.action.toggleTabsVisibility
.
On MacOS, the default keybinding is command + control + w
, which is dangerously close to the OS’s "Lock Screen" command command + control + q
. (Hitting this accidentally while trying to lock my screen is how I got here!)
On Linux, the default keybinding is meta + control + w
On Windows, the keybinding used to be win + control + w
, but it looks like they removed it. See these github issues:
As of the most recent update, in my VSC, you have to double-click the file icon to get a new tab.
And this just when I was finally getting used to clicking ONCE in the older version. I mean, I get "push out a new feature set ASAP" if Microsoft wants to compete with F/OSS, but haven't they heard of POLA ... and not breaking it?
This is a "feature" albeit a confusing one of Visual Studio code called the "Preview" tab!
I know I struggled with it until I took the time out and searched here for an answer!.
Normally you can single-click on a file and open it in a preview tab, go over it and move on to the next one. This can be handy when you've opened a folder and quickly want to go through the files therein.
However, it is confusing when you're actually working on files. The simplest solution is to double-click on a file in the explorer tab, this opens up the file in it's own separate tab.
IMHO, an alternate approach to disabling the feature, is getting used to this "default" setting of a preview tab, rather than turning it off in settings and later on, when you re-install it or go to another machine, struggling with "Ahh...I knew I did something to disable this behaviour!".
If this thought process doesn't work for you, you can always do what's suggested in the other answers.
Go to Preferences -> Settings -> UserSettings -> Workbench -> EditorManagement
check "Show Tabs" . Tabs will appear immediately .Enjoy
I think it's the property "workbench.editor.showTabs": true
.
I had the same problem and I just changed this setting to true.
This has nothing to do with setting workbench.editor.showTabs:true
.Just double click on the file you want open in new tab and it will VS Code will open it for you in new tab.
Follow this,
Go to Preferences -> Settings -> UserSettings -> Workbench -> EditorManagement
check "Show Tabs"
and Restart, Enjoy (y)
I had the same problem and I just changed the following settings inside visual studio 2017.
Tools > Environment > Tabs and windows
