How to pin a tab opened with quick open by keyboard shortcut instead of double clicking the tab?

Question

I use ctrl+p then find a file I need to edit and it opens in a tab. Now if I go to another file by using ctrl+p the first tab is replaced by the newer file's tab. To avoid that I have to use mouse by double clicking the tab to pin it.

I use Vim extension and mostly like using keyboard, very annoying for me to reach mouse to pin a tab. Is there a keyboard shortcut to pin a tab?

I tried searching available keybindings for pin, window and tab, I didn't find any that indicates this is possible, maybe named something else or doesn't exist.

If there is no native keybinding, is there any extension that can allow me to do that?

Answer 1

You can pin the current tab with the following key chord:

Mac: Cmd + K, Shift + Enter
Win: Ctrl + K, Shift + Enter

You can also bind to another shortcut if you'd prefer something else
