# Turn Off Display Of Tabs For Files
|
|
|
|
Each time a file is opened in VS Code, it appears as one of many toward the top
|
|
of the window right above the text editor area. It shows the name of the file
|
|
and the 'dirty' status. Over time as more and more files are opened and edited,
|
|
the tabs accumulate and can only be viewed by horizontally scrolling left and
|
|
right.
|
|
|
|
There are other ways to navigate to files besides selecting tabs of already
|
|
opened files. So, if you'd like to reclaim some screen real estate and reduce
|
|
the visual clutter of the tabs, you can turn them off.
|
|
|
|
Hit `Cmd+Shift+P`, then search for and go to _Preferences: Open Settings (UI)_.
|
|
Search for _Show Tabs_ which will show up under _Workbench > Editor_.
|
|
|
|
The default is _Multiple_. You can switch it to _None_ to completely hide tabs.
|
|
You can also set it to _Single_ which will display file name and path for the
|
|
current file, but eliminate the clutter of all other tabs.
