vscode: Open file instead of previewing file from quick open

Question

When I open up the Command Palette (Ctrl or Cmd + P), type in a filename and hit Enter, the file will automatically be opened in Preview mode.

Open File Permanently

What I want is to have an option to open a file permanently from the Command Palette. I am aware of the "workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen" settings, but that will disable Preview mode.

For example, selecting a file in the Command Palette and hitting Ctrl + Enter will open the file as Preview in a new Split view. I am looking for a similar shortcut to open a file permanently.

Edit 1

Correction: I meant the Quick Look mode using Cmd + P / Ctrl + P. The Command Palette is used to run commands, and cannot search or open files.

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2017: Uncheck all checkboxes of menu Debug > Options, section Environment > Tabs and Windows > Preview Tab

Answer 2

Just press the Right arrow when your file is highlighted. The Command Palette stays exactly where it is and your file opens (in non-preview) in the background. You can do this as many times as you like.

Answer 3

What I was looking for was: Settings -> Workbench -> Editor Management

I set Enable Preview and unset Enable Preview from Quick Open which makes VSCode behave like st3.

Answer 4

With Quick Look open, select the file you wish to open permanently

then press Alt + Enter to open the file permanently.

Note: this shortcut only works in Visual Studio Code 1.19 and above

@GunnerGuyven's answer also work - select file in Quick Look then →
