VSCode showing only one file in the tab bar (can't open multiple files)

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

Solution

  • Check User interface / Tabs. You just need to add the following line in your settings.json 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.
