Switching tab without move file list items

[lijh8]

When switching tabs of opened files from one to another, and the opened file names can all be seen on the current file list window at the same time, can you just move the highlight to the next file, without move the whole list items on the current file list window?

Sorry, I don't quite understand, can you explain some more?

[lijh8]

Sorry about that.

How about scroll up or down in the EXPLORER window of filename entries
only when the file is outside the current visible section of EXPLORER window
when we click on individual tab to switch opened files?

Got it, thanks.

Use the following setting please explorer.autoReveal: false

It's not the same thing. please reopen it. with this setting, it won't highlight the current file.
explorer.autoReveal: false

the EXPLORER window highlights the current file and shouldn't scroll up or down with list of the filename entries if the current filename isn't outside the current visible section of EXPLORER.

the outline view of ms-vscode.cpptools does highlight the current symbol correctly. maybe EXPLORER window should highlight filename this way.

Dup of #23902 and #38899

autoReveal always move the name entry of the current file to the middle in explorer window, right?
if the name of the file is not visible in the explorer window, this is ok.

if the name of the file is visible in the current explorer window, it should not move the filename entry to the middle in explorer window. just highlight the filename entry where it is.
