Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a setting that overrides Code's behavior of opening files in a new tab, instead replacing the file in the active tab, if it is not dirty.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have a workaround hack.
Additional context
I can't help but express curiosity as to why this feature isn't a big deal to long-time Vim users. While we're at it, can we make tabs own splits like they do in Vim, instead of the other way around? :)
