VSCode split editor move file instead of copy

Question

I have recently moved to Visual Studio Code and have a question that I have found an answer for.

When I split the editor it shows the focused file on both sides of the split.

I want the focused file to be moved with the split rather than showing a duplicate view.

Is there a setting or an extension that I can use to do this split / move?

Answer 1

Try the Move Editor into next Group command:

{   "key": "ctrl+cmd+right",   "command": "workbench.action.moveEditorToNextGroup" } 

Answer 2

on mac default shortcut is:

control+command+ -> or <- arrow ;-)
