I always end up Ctrl + K / Enter -ing to keep the tab open. It's a little irritating. Would it be reasonable to add an option to always keep tabs open by default?
Try "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false
馃憤 thanks!
In case someone ends up here from a google search as i did, in my experience disabling preview as suggested above results in a lot of unnecessary tabs. I found that disabling only the following setting is better (and more similar to other editors like Atom and Sublime Text):
"workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen": false
