Resize "Open Editors" pane in Explorer #17511

  • VSCode Version: 1.8
  • OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a large number of documents
  2. Need to scroll to see all documents in Open Editors pane

I work on a very large repository, 20,000 files, 2000 directories, so I like to open all the documents I want to jump between; then minimise the directory tree view, and use the Open Editors pane to jump between documents.

I find using the Open Editors pane easier to navigate than scrolling through tabs, etc. However, this pane appears to be fixed in size, limiting the use of the vertical real estate that's available.

@jessicah you can control the behavior and appearance of the Open Editors section with the following two settings: explorer.openEditors.visible and explorer.openEditors.dynamicHeight in your user or workspace settings.

I set explorer.openEditors.dynamicHeight to true, but this hasn't had any effect. I even restarted vscode to ensure it didn't need reloading.

Oh, I see visible is a number... that's a confusingly named setting. I thought it was a boolean, so didn't look at that one.

I had the same problem.
"explorer.openEditors.visible": 30,
"explorer.openEditors.dynamicHeight": true
But open editors pane not changing height. Only scroll appears.
OS version: windows 7, VS version:1.10.2

It makes no sense to me that all other accordion groups can be resized, but only Open Editors cannot.
