vscode: Open file instead of previewing file from quick open

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.

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.

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.

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

Quick open

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 ā†’

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