VSCode "Open Editors" panel not showing

Question

I don't know what I have done but I cannot see the "Open Editors" panel in the Explorer view

I note also that clicking on the three dots (Views and More Actions...) to the right of the word Explorer at the top of the explorer panel the word Folders is greyed out

Can anyone point me to the setting I need to change in order to rectify this situation?

Answer 1

In the View menu, select Open View... and then Open Editors.

3 dots on extreme right hand side has an option - keep editors open --> set it to default view. Once done the open editors will be visible on the left.

This is considering you have default VS Code layout... I am currently using version 1.68.1.
