title: How to open files in new tabs in Visual Studio Code
body: <p>I recently started using Visual Studio Code and I would like to know, is a way to open files in a new tab? Currently whenever I open a new file the files I currently have open disappear. I say new tab, but any option that will let me open a new file in the same window as the old one works.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried disabling Preview Mode through the workbench settings as shown in this answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38713405/how-to-config-vscode-to-open-files-always-in-a-new-tab/38723094#38723094">How to config vscode to open files always in a new tab?</a>. However, when I choose Open or Open Recent the new file still replaces my old file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
