Single click in "Find Results" to open file in Visual Studio

Time:09-16

In the "Find Results", I double click an item to open the file.

How can I open a file in this panel with single click?

CodePudding user response:

The only single click option I found for this opens it in a preview tab. By default, I believe this setting is enabled (perhaps you turned it off at some point or you have the preview tab settings completely turned off?)

Under Tools → Options → Environment → Tabs and Windows there is a "Preview Tab" section. Enable the "Preview selected files in Find Results" option:

preview find results option

This should make it so that when you click once on one of those file paths, it will open in a preview tab. From there, you can look over the file as if its any other tab.
