If I got it right this must be your case: check here. You just need to set this in your configuration file

Answer 6

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 the menu bar, click on File, Preferences, Settings.

Then add this to your settings:

"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false
