"Go to Definition" always in new tab in VSCode

Question

I installed VSCode on MAC BigSur. Whenever I click on "Go to Definition" it should open in a new tab. How to achieve this?

Currently, only if the definition is present in another file, the definition opens in a new tab. Otherwise if present in the same file it scrolls to the definition in the same file which is not desired. In either case, function definitions should open in a new tab.

Answer 1

As written in the official documentation, you can open the definition to the side with Ctrl+Alt+Click.
