How can I open a file in a new tab?

Question

How do I open a new file using Ctrl+P, so it doesn\'t override the current file, but rather use a new tab?

Also, would it be possible to focus

Answer 1

Go to menu File → Preferences → Settings → search for "settings.json", and at the last line before }, add a comma to the last option and paste:

"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false

For example:

{
    "editor.fontFamily": "'Consolas', 'monospace', 'Times New Roman'",
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "monospace",
    "editor.fontSize": 13,
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false
}
