VSCode showing only one file in the tab bar (can't open multiple files)
Solution 1:
Check User interface / Tabs. You just need to add the following line in the configuration file.
"workbench.editor.showTabs": false
I also think that How do I disable tabs in Visual Studio Code? is asking the exact opposite of what you are asking.
Solution 2:
On a mac, if both of the existing answers didn't work, you can try command + ctrl + w, worked for me.
Solution 3:
try command + ctrl + w in Mac, it works fine
Solution 4:
The accepted answer didn't work for me for some reason. The answer given in Open files always in a new tab did.
In short: In the menu bar, click on File > Preferences > Settings. Then add the following line to the settings file.
"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false
Solution 5:
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:
- Windows key in default keybindings on Windows
- Add toggleTabsVisibility to keybinding actions
