Atom Editor - How to fix: Only one tab open at a time
I have a cat. She likes to sit on my keyboard.
I recently downloaded the Atom Editor, and I love it, but I don't know much about the settings. I just came back to having about 50 instances of Atom opened... bc... #catflife. I had to restart the computer.
Right now my window shows the "Project" pane to the left, and an open file on the right. Normally, I can click on "main.js" and "style.css" , and both files will be open on the right side pane, like tabs.
However, only one file is showing. I would like for the tabs to look like this:
style.css | main.js | anotherfile.php | anotherfile.js
But, let's say I click on "style.css" - it appears on the right side. Then I click on "main.js", and the stylesheet disappears (from the right side) and is replaced with "main.js".
Not sure which setting my cat changed, but how do I change it back to seeing a tab view on the right side?
When you click on a file in Atom, its pane is only ”pending” until you make changes to that file. From then on, a second file will be opened in a new pane. The pending state is indicated by the italic text on the tab.
You can force opening a new file by double-clicking on the file. Or you can disable pending panes in the settings:
