Question 17 Oct 2020

When using Visual Studio Code 1.x with the newly introduced tabs.

When you click on files, the first file will open in a tab but If you do not make any changes to this file, the second clicked file will open in the same tab.

In order to open any file in new tab

go to File --> Preferences--> Settings

Uncheck the options Enable Preview and Enable Preview from Quick Open
