How do I disable tabs in Visual Studio Code?

Question

With the new version of Visual Studio Code, tabs are rendered by default. How do I disable / hide them as I really liked the previous behavior without any tabs?

Answer 1

Visual Studio Code v1.27+ now includes a GUI for editing settings:

1. Open menu File → Preferences → Settings.
2. Choose User Settings to apply everywhere (or Workspace Settings to turn off tabs on just this workspace).
3. Choose Workbench → Editor Management on the left, and then scroll down to Show Tabs and uncheck.

Alternatively, you could just pop into Zen Mode, which has tabs hidden by default.
