Is there a quick change tabs function in Visual Studio Code?

The current function of giving me a dropdown option of which tab to choose is just so annoying. Is there a possibility to remove it so the tabs would work like in some moder

@Combii I found a way to swap

CMD+1, CMD+2, CMD+3 with CTRL+1, CTRL+2, CTRL+3, ...

In macOS, go to:

Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts

On that page, click the button on the top right of the page...

and append the configuration below, then save.

[
    {
        "key": "cmd+0",
        "command": "workbench.action.openLastEditorInGroup"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+1",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex1"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+2",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex2"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+3",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex3"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+4",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex4"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+5",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex5"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+6",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex6"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+7",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex7"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+8",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex8"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+9",
        "command": "workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex9"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+1",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusFirstEditorGroup"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+2",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusSecondEditorGroup"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+3",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusThirdEditorGroup"
    }
]

You now can use CMD+[1-9] to switch between tabs and CTRL+[1-3] to focus editor groups! Hope this answer is helpful.
