Do you enable file preview in VS Code?

[dasten]

This file preview thing was pretty annoying when I started with vscode, but soon I realized how great it is to keep the tabs more tidy

[bulelanibotman]

oh! never really understood this feature up until now, thank you for clarifying

[mavdotj]

thank god, im working on a notes app inspired by the vscode ui and i was trying to see what vscode does when the tabs overflow

How I do prevent VSC to open a preview file when clicking on error links in the debug console? I want it to open the real thing so that I can start editing.
I am searching for an answer for days now.

I didn't even know that's a feature lol 😂 each time I click on a file, then in order to keep it on the screen, I modify the document and fall back and save it .... 😂😂🤦

Thank you really very much for solving problem 😀

Thanks I would always just enter space on an empty line to keep the file open and open another one.

Or you can use another way to achieve the same thing without modifying any settings and without modifying the files. By default:
1. Single-click on the file to preview the file. The file tab's name will be written in italics. Double click on the tab to make the file "stick" (the tab's name will change from italics to the normal font).
OR
2. Double click on the file to make it "stick" as a tab.
OR
3. Click with a middle mouse button on the file - the same effect as in pt. 2.

i have a diff question. How do I simply get my code to run in a panel on the right to see changes in my file reflected? I thought this would be an easy and default feature. I'm taking a udacity course and they don't show how to do this in VS code. I can create the html file and open in browser, but I don't want to go to a separate screen. I want to do it all in vs code. thanx

Something that's difficult for me, if I'm in a project and want to create a new file in the root directory, I almost always accidentally create it in some folder first, because it's difficult to get to the root (scroll down past everything and click empty space or have to click a file). Would be great if there was somewhere easy to always click to create a file in root

Why doesn't preview work when navigating the sidebar, like sublime text?

[HSPBrands]

Is there a shortcut key to keep a preview open after the cursor is active on the file?

How do show auto update on the browser when running Live Server? Meaning the page will refresh without having to save the HTML file.
