// Settings related to preview tabs.
"preview_tabs": {
  // Whether preview tabs should be enabled.
  // Preview tabs allow you to open files in preview mode, where they close automatically
  // when you switch to another file unless you explicitly pin them.
  // This is useful for quickly viewing files without cluttering your workspace.
  "enabled": true,
  // Whether to open tabs in preview mode when selected from the file finder.
  "enable_preview_from_file_finder": false,
  // Whether a preview tab gets replaced when code navigation is used to navigate away from the tab.
  "enable_preview_from_code_navigation": false
},

You're interested in this part of the default settings.

what should i change here to what setting? and after changing it redirects me to save the file in somewhere in my computer, where should i save the new file?

Please have at least a glance at the documentation first: https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed

This is such a wired default that new user frustrates extremely. Imagine, after installation I just tried to open two text files in separate tabs. It is impossible without reading the manual and understanding the setting.json, seriously?

The suggestions above do not even solve the problem.

Ha, it was not even possible to create a new file. I wish good luck.

OK, I'm done with Zed. I tried it because it had good reviews. But even with

"preview_tabs": {
    "enable_preview_file_from_code_navigation": false,
    "enable_preview_from_multibuffer": false,
    "enable_preview_from_project_panel": false,
    "enabled": false
  },

I cannot for the life of me open two files at the same time in two tabs. What a frustrating default!

Try double-clicking the open tab; when the tab title changes from italic to normal font, you can now open two files simultaneously in two separate tabs.
