Add option to pin tabs similar to Visual Studio

[jez9999]

There should be an option in Visual Studio Code to pin tabs, like you can in Visual Studio.

As with issue #10739 there should be a config option allowing you to hide the "pin tab" icon in the tab itself if you just want to use the right-click menu or shortcut to pin/unpin tabs.

There should also be an option (again, like in Visual Studio) where pinned tabs are put onto a separate line above the other tabs.

Would love this too, this is how I manage my tabs in 'visual studio full'. I am finding it somewhat hard to live without as the files that open during my normal flow are getting in the way.

I am agree, it would be nice

We already have functionality for this. Opening a file from the file explorer with a single or double click does what happens with a pin in Visual Studio. I'd vote to close this issue, and open another making how the tabs are handled clearer. Perhaps adding a pin icon on the window tabs are marked "Keep Open".

@wonea Visual Studio has option to keep pinned tabs separate from open tabs (and on the different row). Such option would be great to have in Visual Studio Code. Perhaps that should be a separate ticket.

@asednev Exactly. I'd say VS Code could actually improve on Visual Studio by keeping the current behaviour, but additionally allowing tabs to be "top pinned" or something, which would put them in a row above the rest of the tabs (ie. the regular Visual Studio pin behaviour).

Another vote for the pinned tabs in a top row. This helps greatly to work on the "main" files when you end up open a lot of files.

Pinned tabs are very good feature which we must to have
