Open one tab per file per pane or window

We strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords before making a new feature request. If your request is very similar to an existing one, consider liking it and/or making a comment rather than making a new one. Once you’ve searched and determined that this is a new request, delete this line.

Use case or problem

I don’t like to open the same file in many times in many tabs.

I open Example.md in Tab 1 and I open a new tab (Tab 2).
If I click Example.md on Explorer panel, it should not open Example.md in Tab 2, it should focus to Example.md in Tab 1.
If Example.md is not opened in any tabs then it should open that file in the focused tab.

Proposed solution

There should be a new setting in the Settings > Editor page called “Only open a file once per …”

“…” should be a select box, can be “Pane” or “Window”.

Current workaround (optional)

I use this plugin, not author’s fault but this is unintuitive.
Only one tab for any one file & pane
