In Visual Studio 2015 Pro, all of a sudden whichever editor window I have active, its tab moves to the leftmost position.
It must have been some key combination I hit and I can't figure out how to turn it off. I have power tools installed but haven't seen this as an option before. I just mention it because I know it has options for coloring/sorting tabs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hold down the Ctrl key and press Tab repeatedly until you select the file you intend to switch to.
Open menu File → Preferences → Settings. Choose User Settings to apply everywhere (or Workspace Settings to turn off tabs on just this workspace). Choose Workbench → Editor Management on the left, and then scroll down to Show Tabs and uncheck.
To move the text to the right, click Edit > Shift Right. To move the text to the left, press Shift+Tab.
The behavior you're seeing is a result of the new "Sort by Most Recently Used" option added to Productivity Power Tools in July 2016.
This feature is enabled by default, but can be disabled in Tools > Options > Productivity Power Tools > Custom Document Well > Sorting: Most recently used.
