Make new tab always be the rightmost one (at the end of all tabs)

Question

I haven't been updating Visual Studio Code for a while and now I finally did. The unpleasant surprise was that it started opening new tabs after the current one instead of the last open one (which was the way it had acted before I updated it).
I've searched through the options and still can't find how to turn it off.
Is there a way to do that?

I'm on OSX if the behavior differs from Win/Linux.

Answer 1

// Controls where editors open. Select 'left' or 'right' to open editors to the left or right of the current active one. Select 'first' or 'last' to open editors independently from the currently active one.

"workbench.editor.openPositioning": "last",

The default is "right" which is the behavior you do not want. Try "last".
