Make all opened document tabs visible

Solution 1:

One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs. http://dailydotnettips.com/2016/01/21/persevering-and-separating-the-pinned-tabs-in-visual-studio/

If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row

It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.

Solution 2:

Maybe it's not exactly what you search, but here is a way to at least get a second row for pinned tabs.

Effectively get you more space for opened files:

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row

Solution 3:

Visual Studio has this extension taken from msdn.microsoft.com tested and worked

Simple installation: download, doubleclick to install, restart VS IDE. Then open all the tabs you want they all will be displayed and No hidden.

Solution 4:

It's worth noting that starting in VS 2019 v16.4, you can now have "vertical tabs" which will list all open tabs vertically, making it easy to see all open files.
