the steps to Reproduce is very easy.
open 2 or 3 files at the same time.
as normal, they will show as a default order.
But if I click one of the files, the clicked file will jump to the
first place on the tab list.
my question is how should I do to keep the open file tab position ?
the ideal result is every open file will forever stay on the position where it showed.
reproduce figure1
reproduce figure2
I expect the open file stay on the position where it showed first time, rather than jump to the first place when I click it.

It's super annoying, every time I open a file it opens like that:
On the right window, so I need to drag it to the middle every time. I can't figure out how to close this window.
I'm trying out Visual Studio Code. Yesterday, I opened a file outside of the git directory I was working in. I eventually moved and renamed the file and somewhere along the line, I ended up with the empty panel shown in the attached screenshot. I tried clicking every GUI element and every menu item and I could not get rid of it. I could close that file and it would go away, but once I re-opened it, it would come back, so it seemed to be associated specifically with that file.
I could split the view and add more tabs, but there was no way to get rid of it. I selected view > editor layout > single many times and it would not go away. All I could do was make it smaller by dragging the vertical divider.
This morning, I closed it and re-opened it, and it was gone. Unfortunately, despite trying to reproduce the steps that lead to that empty panel, I could not make that panel show up again.
Does anyone know what that panel was, why it was appearing with that file, and how to make it go away if it happens again?
That file basically shows you all the edits you've made since you last saved the file in git. By clicking on the source control button on the activity bar on the left side you can view your changes on the files you're working on. You can't actually edit it, it just shows the changes you've made.
To actually open the file and edit it you can either go back to the top left button called explorer on the activity bar or click on the little file button next to the name of the file (next to the + sign and the arrow).

Assume you have index.js and service.ts in the side explorer. When I click on index.js, it opens in a view A. Then I open service.ts in a separate view B right to the first one and keep the focus in B and then click on index.js in the sidebar, it also opens in B. Can VS Code be configured such that instead of opening the file again, it switches to the already open one?
Additionally, if I really want the file open twice, I could open it a second time by double clicking it or dragging it to the view where it isnt present already.
If I understand correctly, try this setting set to true:
"workbench.editor.revealIfOpen": true,
I'm trying to split my windows so I can have 2 different classes or whatever on 1 screen but it will only split the window of the same class/file/whatever. I've been using netbeans for years and still can't do this.
Is this possible?
You don't specifically mention which version of NetBeans you are using. I'm using version 8, and these instructions work for that version and version 7. I believe it is the same for version 6.
If you want to see two different source files on the screen at the same time (without floating), then open both source files. You will have two tabs in the editing area of the IDE. Click on the tab of one of the source files without releasing the mouse button (and without holding any additional keys), and drag toward either the right side of the editing area, or toward the bottom of the editing area (depending on whether you want them side-by-side or stacked). You will see an orange outline appear once you start dragging. If the orange box encloses the entire editing area, then the IDE thinks you want to reorder the tab. Keep dragging toward the edge (without going over) and eventually you will see the orange box change to fill either the right half or the lower half (or if you drag the other way, the left half or the top half) of the editing area. Releasing the mouse button at this point will drop the source file in that half of the editing area, leaving you with the two source files side-by-side or stacked.
Here's an example of what it looks like when stacking two source files, just before the mouse button is released:
And here is what it looks like after releasing the mouse button:
If you want to have the same source file duplicated on the screen, open the single source file and follow the instructions above, only hold the CTRL key while clicking-and-dragging.
You can repeat this procedure as many times as you want (as is practical for your screen size), so that you end up with source files in several columns, several rows, or any combination thereof.
When you next open a file, it will be opened in the tab group of the currently selected source file. If you end up with a source file opened in the "wrong" tab group, just drag it to where you want it using the procedure above (allowing the orange box to outline the whole tab group area if you want to drop it in as a tab).
Additional screen shots for reference...
Reordering a tab within the same tab group:
Side-By-Side instead of stacked (two images):
Get as crazy as you want...
Create the above by dragging the second file to the lower half, the third file to the right half of the top half, and the fourth file to the right half of the lower half.
At least in netbeans version 8.1, you can ctrl + i and write "move window".
This will allow you to move the window with the arrows, it is the same as some user posted before but using the keyboard instead of the mouse (I prefer keyboard for this kind of things while I am coding).
When I open, say a 10 or more file in Netbans 7.3.1 (windows 7), Netbeans puts each opened file's name in a a tab and all tabs are listed horizontally above the code eduitor. And at the end of that horizontal list, Netbeans provides clickable arrows (>,<,V ) to kind of navigate that list.
Since many times, the file that I want to get into is not visible in that horizontal tab list, and I need to navigate to the left or right, I usually end up clicking on the down arrow (v) and that gives me the full list of all the open files. At that time, it's a simple click to go to that file. I wish that list was available to me in a vertical fashion without an extra step.
Is there a way to see that vertical list at all times? For example, where the HTML navigator is...
I don't believe NetBeans can do this as you describe.
However, what you may find useful is Ctrl-Tab - pressing this once brings up the open file list and pressing Tab repeatedly iterates through these files. Ctrl-Shift-Tab iterates in the other direction. Letting go of Ctrl selects the currently selected file. This is similar to the Alt-Tab feature in Windows.
Hope this is useful.
