When I open up the Command Palette (Ctrl or Cmd + P), type in a filename and hit Enter, the file will automatically be opened in Preview mode.
What I want is to have an option to open a file permanently from the Command Palette. I am aware of the "workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen"
settings, but that will disable Preview mode.
For example, selecting a file in the Command Palette and hitting Ctrl + Enter will open the file as Preview in a new Split view. I am looking for a similar shortcut to open a file permanently.
Correction: I meant the Quick Look mode using Cmd + P / Ctrl + P. The Command Palette is used to run commands, and cannot search or open files.
The only way to disable file previewing when clicked on at all is by setting "workbench. editor. enablePreview" to false . This does NOT change the behaviour, that the file only gets opened in a tab when double clicked.
Just press the Right arrow when your file is highlighted. The Command Palette stays exactly where it is and your file opens (in non-preview) in the background. You can do this as many times as you like.
What I was looking for was: Settings -> Workbench -> Editor Management
I set Enable Preview
and unset Enable Preview from Quick Open
which makes VSCode behave like st3.
