Visual Studio For Mac Sidebar Icons

Mac

In Visual Studio Code the sidebar is collapsed by default. I want to have the file list always visible.

Is there a setting for this?

When you open VS Code on a single file or via File | New Window the side bar is collapsed to focus on the editor area. As soon as you open a folder, the side bar will reveal the contents of the folder.

Currently there is no way to always show the side bar when opening a single file. To open the side bar, use the Ctrl+B (Mac: Cmd+B) key binding.

I don't have this behavior. If you exit VSCODE, VSCODE will save the visible state of the sidebar. Next time you open VSCODE, VSCODE will restore the saved visible state.
