We can use the "split editor" option to make two views into one file.
I'm looking for an option to open the same file in separated tabs like I can do in Sublime Text (open new view of file). Is that possible?
Note: I want to do this without splitting the view , so there should be two tabs for the same file within the same view container.
I couldn't find anything built-in that lets you do this, nor an existing extension in the marketplace. I thought it should be quite trivial to implement a "Duplicate Tab" command yourself in a custom extension , but it turns out VSCode only allows the same resource to be opened once within the same view column .
It's still possible to do this on Windows or macOS, but only by abusing this bug:
Issues with not case/fragment-normalizing file paths (macOS, Windows) #12448
Here's what the code for the extension looks like:
'use strict';
import * as vscode from 'vscode';
export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
vscode.commands.registerCommand("duplicateTab", () => {
var activeEditor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
if (activeEditor == null) {
return;
}
// HACK!
const sameFileNameButDifferent = activeEditor.document.fileName.toUpperCase();
vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(sameFileNameButDifferent).then(document => {
vscode.window.showTextDocument(document, {preview: false});
});
});
}
In package.json
:
"contributes": {
"commands": [
{
"title": "Duplicate Tab",
"command": "duplicateTab"
}
]
},
