I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and Resharper and whenever I search for (and open a file) by name (using the "Go To File" shortcut of Control-Shift-T) the file opens in a "Keep Open" mode, instead of opening normally. I've searched and can't find anyway to open the file normally.

What setting can I change to make it open normally?

Simply go to : Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Tabs and Windows

Then uncheck the "Allow new files to be opened in the preview tab" in the Preview Tab section

Found the answer from there actually : Disable file preview in VS2012

And if you want to keep the Preview Tab, but want that currently previewed file to stay open, press Ctrl-Alt-Home. The equivalent Visual Studio command is Window.KeepTabOpen.
