Have you checked https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/wiki/View#latex-workshopviewpdftabeditorgroup ?

No I had not thank you! I think it would be nice to have two options (click and meta-click), like with markdown. I personally like to use both "right" and "current" in different moments. I suppose if there were two options, they could both could be configured in such a fashion.

We will think of it. In the meantime, you can always drag and drop the viewer tab at an other position or configure latex-workshop.view.pdf.tab.editorGroup on a a project basis

Currently, ctrl-alt-v opens preview according to the setting workshop.view.pdf.tab.editorGroup. If I understand correctly, you would like two shortcuts (functions) to open preview either in a new group or in a new tab in the same. Looking closely at the preview mechanism, it requires quite some refactoring and I am not sure how wise it is considering how tabs can easily be moved.

No worries, that is understandable!
