[faustinoaq]

• VSCode Version: 1.15.0
• OS Version: Manjaro Linux x64 Gellivara

Steps to Reproduce:

{
  "workbench.editor.showTabs": false
}

2. Tabs are hidden but tabs section still fill the space.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

Some captures:

1. Face to face with Vim

2. Proposed setting:

{
  "workbench.editor.showTabs": "none | one | all"
}

With "workbench.editor.showTabs": "none" then

Just realized that I did not support Zen mode, which many people want. Fixed it.

I just found out that I could live with zooming out the whole windows interface until the tab height/status bar height is what you wanted (~vim tab/status bar for me), at at the same time increase the editor and terminal font size.

Only drawback is font size of other stuffs would be too small to read (extension, outlines,...), but I rarely look at them anyway. But I'd be great if we increase the font size of UI as well - anyone know where to change the UI font size?

I decided to try out vscode again today, haven't used it since the PR that added this very basic feature was rejected for reasons I still don't understand four years ago, so I guess I'll try again in a few more years.

Rather than simply hiding the title section, I decided to still make the title action buttons available just in case, but without preventing the editor from occupying the rest of the area:

CSS (for the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension) if you want to do similar:

.title.show-file-icons {
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    z-index: 10;
    opacity: 0.5;
}

.title.show-file-icons:hover {
    opacity: 1;
}

.title.show-file-icons .label-container {
    display: none !important;
}
