In Visual Studio (2020 for me), the filename of open files are written in the tabs at the top of the screen. If the filename is too long, it will be automatically shortened, i.e. instead of ReallyLongFilename.cs it will say ReallyL...lename.cs.
I want the entire filename to be displayed. I realize that I can hover my mouse on the tab to see the entire path, and I realize that I can select the dropdown on the top right to see all open files. That requires mouse and eye movement, when I just want eye movement.
Is there a setting for this?
CodePudding user response:
Not really, but you can mitigate the problem by changing the tab minimum/maximum width via Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows > Minimum Tab Width
and Maximum Tab Width
. The default minimum is 60 and the default maximum is 215. Changing the Maximum Tab Width
will allow you to see more of the filename.
