    Visual Code Studio Missing Tabs for Open Files

    Sometimes working on Visual Code Studio, I lose Tabs shown on top of the editor, this happens when I type, maybe I press some key combination by accident. Once this happened, Visual Codde Studio won’t show tabs for all the open documents, instead, it just shows a tab for the active document.
