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

Question

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

Answer 1

Another way to quickly change tabs would be in VSCode 1.45 (April 2020)

Switch tabs using mouse wheel

When you use the mouse wheel to scroll over editor tabs, you can currently not switch to the tab, only reveal tabs that are out of view.

Now with a new setting workbench.editor.scrollToSwitchTabs this behaviour can be changed if you change it to true.

Note: you can also press and hold the Shift key while scrolling to get the opposite behaviour (i.e. you can switch to tabs even with this setting being turned off).
