How can I ditch multi-tab layout in Visual Studio and just use a single editor for all work within a solution?

i.e.: 1 solution window has only 1 code editor. Opening a new file just opens it in the same editor.

(I’m running VS 2019 if that matters)

  1. Found an extension that seems to work for VS 2019 16.11.5:

    Hide Main Menu, Title Bar, and Tabs extension

    This extension is not officially updated to support VS 2022, but you can install it manually. You can find a .vsix package for VS 2022 here
