In Visual Studio Code, is there any way to have new tabs open to the right of all existing tabs? When I click a file in the explorer, it inserts the new tab to the right of the currently opened file's tab, instead of placing it at the end of my tab list.
See here for example. I'd like the dashboard.component.html to open at the end of my tab list, instead of right in the middle of my currently ordered tabs. We have this feature in Visual Studio like this.
Try:
"workbench.editor.openPositioning": "last"
Workbench › Editor: Open Positioning
Controls where editors open. Select left or right to open editors to
the left or right of the currently active one. Select first or last to
open editors independently from the currently active one.
Click the gear icon in the lower left, choose "Settings", search for the above setting and change to last.

I don't know what I have done but I cannot see the "Open Editors" panel in the Explorer view
I note also that clicking on the three dots (Views and More Actions...) to the right of the word Explorer at the top of the explorer panel the word Folders is greyed out
Can anyone point me to the setting I need to change in order to rectify this situation?
Just in case anyone else has the same problem here is how I resolved my issue. I won't bore you with how I discovered the solution.
Right-click in the activity bar, this will bring up a context menu with the entry for Open Editors listed but not marked with a tick
Activity bar context menu.
Clicking on "Open Editors" in this context menu brings up a new icon in the activity bar that looks like an open book
Open Editor icon
Right-clicking on this new icon reveals another context menu that includes the option to reset the location of the Open Editors panel.
Open Editor context menu
Selecting this option resolves the problem.
How I got into the problem in the first place is still difficult to ascertain. With the activity bar in its default configuration I must have dragged the "Open Editors" header to somewhere on the activity bar, that clearly removes it from the Explorer side bar but how I inadvertently right clicked this new icon and selected "Hide 'Open Editors'" without realising remains a mystery.
Go to view and click on Open View and the on Open Editors.
3 dots on extreme right hand side has an option - keep editors open --> set it to default view. Once done the open editor will be be visible on the left.
This is considering you have default vs code layout...
I am currently using version: 1.68.1
In VS Code, go to Settings and in the search box, type explorer.openEditors.visible. Set the value in the dialogue box to any number greater than 0 and you are good to go. Refer to the image below.
When I click on an editor tab the focus in the explorer pane shifts to the file in question. This seems pointless to me. Can I stop this from happening? Obviously I want to continue being able to click on a file in the explorer pane and for the relevant tab to open or come up in the editor.
You may be wondering why I want this. It's because one of my open files is way down the explorer pane list and the files I want to see in the pane are up at the top of the list.
On Eclipse, with Window -> New Editor or by drag/drop method* I could have one more editor panes in my eclipse work area. Now how do I remove that extra pane when I do not need it anymore. All it allows me now is to minimize/maximize that editor extra pane. It just sticks around. Shouldn't there be a collapse or close extra editor panes (that is without me requiring to do Window->Reset Perspective!)
Ref: answers to another question: How do you split and unsplit a window/view in Eclipse IDE?
Right-click on a tab in the window you want to close and select "close all". This will close the split window (and close any tabs in that window that have not been dragged to another window).
HandySplit has a flatten action that you need and other capabilities that you might find useful.
Hi i many html editors in eclipse. each one provides different features.
Is there a way i can quickly switch the editor of current opened tab, ( other than open with option in the project explorer).
Lets say abc.html is currently open. but i want to open it in different editor. Now i have to search that file in the project explorer and then right click > open with. option.
OR
I use ctrl+shift+r to open any resource , it always opens in default editor. But i want to choose there which editor to open with" option there. :(. is there any shortcut for that?
I can well understand wanting to open stuff just using the keyboard.
I can think of 2 solutions:
1: CTRL + SHIFT + R (select file as normal) then (still in the Open Resource dialog) TAB, TAB, ENTER and then press the down arrow key until you get the right editor
2: Keep the Project Explorer 'Link with Editor' toggle on (a button on the top right of the Project Explorer View)
Now you can easily get from the file open in the editor to the correct place in the Project Explorer view (so you can right click on it).
Hope this helps!
(I also find CTRL + F7 a useful way of switching to the Project Explorer view from an editor)
There are times when I have a decent number of source files open at once. Is there a way to change the number of rows of tabs that are visible while working in NetBeans?
Also, I have a dual monitor setup here. I could span NetBeans across the two monitors if it were possible to have multiple NetBeans editor windows open at the same time. This is something that I use in the VS Express editions. I tend to group my source files on one monitor and the designer windows in the other. Can I do this in NetBeans?
for versions 8.0.2+:
Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Document Tabs -> Multi-row tabs
You can also maximum row count if you wish (the default is 3).
There are 2 way's I have done this:
Drag a tab from the editor panel to the side of the editor window until the red outline shows a rectangle running from top to bottom. Drop the tab there and you get another editor pane. Opening from Project or Files will still use the original panel, but you can drag tabs between the panels.
Right click on a tab and choose "Undock Window". This will create a top-level window independent of the main NB window.
When you create files with keyboard shortcuts (eg, Ctrl-N for new file) they will open in the current panel. Likewise, navigating to other files (eg, Ctrl-Shift-B for go to source).
It's not perfect though. Some keyboard actions will dump you back to the main window, then it's Alt-Tab or fiddle with the mouse to get back.
You can control the number of rows of Tabs in Netbeans by going to (on Windows):
Tools>Options>Miscellaneous>Windows> check the multi-row tabs checkbox.
See the maximum row count with the radio button and set your number.
