You can split the editor horizontally or vertically from the editor tab context menu to make multiple tabs visible at the same time.

Split will make editor window smaller. How to keep the two tabs from disappearing? Thanks. – eastwater Aug 28 '19 at 22:21

You can have [a lot of tabs open at the same time](https://i.imgur.com/yVqoRax.png). Check [your limits](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2065756/104891). Do you have it set to 1? – CrazyCoder Aug 28 '19 at 22:23

My question was misunderstood. Selecting one file will make another tab disappear. – eastwater Aug 28 '19 at 22:25

How exactly do you select the files? Ctrl+E (Recent Files) opens files in the new tabs if the tab limit is > 1. Attach your [editor tabs settings](https://i.imgur.com/lakMjc1.png) to the question and describe the exact steps to reproduce the problem. Share a video of the issue. – CrazyCoder Aug 28 '19 at 22:26
