Solution

  • You can either alt + click in the file navigator to open in a new editor, or click this icon:

    enter image description here

    (pro tip: hold alt to toggle new editor position [on right | below])

    Also, alt + click on a file while more than one editors are open will open the file in the non focused one.

    Finally, ctrl + alt + cmd + click on a symbol will open that symbol in a new editor (or to the secondary if you got more than one).

    Bonus: alt + enter on a quick open result (cmd + shift + O) will save you the trip to the file navigator.
