Is there any way to set the maximum width for the tab in visual studio code. I can specify this in visual studio 2015 when I install productivity power tool, but I want to know if this is possible with visual studio code.
The only thing I was able to find while doing some quick research on VS Code User Guide was that in the Settings editor you can change the tabWidth either to shrink or to stay large enough to view the file name.
// Controls the sizing of editor tabs.
// - fit: Always keep tabs large enough to show the full editor label.
// - shrink: Allow tabs to get smaller when the available space is not enough to show all tabs at once.
"workbench.editor.tabSizing": "fit",
In VS Code you can access the editor's tab size settings by pressing Command+Comma (Mac) or Ctrl+Comma (PC), and typing tabsizing. You can edit settings for regular and pinned tabs.
Currently there are two options for sizing editor tabs: fit and shrink.
A handy shortcut is that the tab area recognizes a mouse scroll-wheel.
If you have Tab Sizing set to fit, and you have several tabs opened so that they scroll off the screen, hover your mouse pointer over a tab then scroll. This will bring more tabs into view.
It would be nice if Microsoft provided a means to stack tabs in Visual Studio Code.
2022 Update: VS Code now has a workbench setting named Wrap Tabs. To edit this press Command+Comma (Mac) or Ctrl+Comma (PC), type Wrap Tabs and check that box.
As lenooh pointed out, to have smaller tabs (what I came here for), better use
"workbench.editor.tabSizing": "shrink",

Is there a way to make terminal span the entire width of the application without closing the sidenav? I use it quite a bit, and often I have to hide the sidenav in order to see it in full width. It would be great if I could set it up so the sidenav is just alongside the editor, allowing terminal to take up the full width of the application.
This is in Stable v1.64 now.
Go to View/Appearance/Align Panel/Justify or use the Layout Control icon on the upper right mentioned below.
Other options for the Panel alignment are center/left/right.
Note that that the Layout icon on the upper right was recently added with this setting:
Workbench > Layout Control: Enabled
Also, as of v1.75 this can be done via the context menu for the Panel. Right-click on an open space of the Panel to the right of the View headers to open the context menu:
See Release Notes: Manage Panel Alignment
It's already available since version 1.64.
Let's switch to Justify option.
**Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment.
There is a ticket for this feature in the VSCode repository - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/42149
UPDATE:
It's already available since version 1.64.

Visual Studio Code keeps scrunching and separating my code in the right window into multiple lines, if the left pane is too wide. It used to never be like that. How can I change this setting, so VS Code does not auto window size the right panel?
Is it possible to get tabs instead of the select list when using multiple terminals from the "integrated terminal" window?
Terminal "tabs" appear to be coming to v1.56. See Terminal Tabs release notes. They are vertical tabs - always visible, if you want, in a resizable view to the left or right. Not like traditional tabs across the top like a browser though.
Tabs in the terminal [are] available as a preview feature and can be
enabled with the following setting:
"terminal.integrated.tabs.enabled": true
The tabs view is a split pane to the right of two split terminals. It
contains icons and labels for each terminal instance.
When enabled, the new tabs view will only show by default when there
is at least 2 terminals.
We've tried to mostly align how the new tabs behave with how the
explorer works, here are some of the other behaviors:
Double clicking the empty space will create a new terminal.
Double clicking the sash will toggle the tabs view width between the "ideal" size which displays all the titles without truncating and a
narrow view that shows only the icons.
The tabs can be moved to the left side using the terminal.integrated.tabs.location setting.
Various other configuration settings available under terminal.integrated.tabs.
Terminal Statuses
Along with tabs, we have introduced the concept of statuses to the
terminal. A terminal can have many statuses, each of which represents
a state the terminal can be in temporarily, with the highest severity
one being displayed next to the tab. Status icons appear to the right
of the terminal title in the tabs view. On hover, details of the
status and any associated actions are presented.
On a tab associated with a terminal that requires a relaunch, a
yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is to the right of the
terminal title.
For now, these states are supported:
Relaunch needed: A warning icon status is used if extensions want to change a terminal's environment.
Disconnected: A plug icon status is used when the terminal loses its connection with its process.
Bell: A bell icon appears when the bell is enabled via the terminal.integrated.enableBell setting and the terminal bell
triggers.
We plan to support task states soon so that task run status is
available at a glance even without activating the tab.
And more at the link. From the Insiders Build:
NO EXTENSION REQUIRED, as docs say:
Ctrl+Shift+5
If enough space, you can press it multiple times. However, as always, extensions might be more sophisticated for the job.
They are called "Terminal Tabs" and you can un-check them to turn them off. Go to your VS code setting User->Features->Terminal and look for the section called "Integrated > Tabs:Enabled" and un-check it.

Added in release 1.57 (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/releases)
There is an extension that does this by adding tabs to the status bar: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Tyriar.terminal-tabs
While using Visual Studio Code, the screen is broken as shown in the following gif.
It is not visible in the gif file, but is being dragged with the another window open.
The same thing did not happen in other programs (e.g., visual studio community, source tree, etc.).
It also happened on other monitors connected to internal graphics cards.
When scrolling in vscode, the same symptoms occur in the parts that are not scrolling (such as the left menu section).
Updating the graphics card driver(geforce) fixed the problem
go to your vs code shortcut properties and add at the end of the path "--disable-gpu" example like these: "C:\Users\your-user\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" --disable-gpu
I have a dual screen setup and would like to have a fixed number of editor windows with a fixed size open to avoid that an editor window bridges between two screens. VS code adapts editor windows automatically as they open and close.
I found a hint to .tab.sizing-fixed but I cannot find it in the settings (in 1.32). The "workbench.editor.tabSizing": "shrink" seems to handle only the sizing of the tabs, not the editor window.
centered layout auto resize off, if that would work
