In VSCode, I always use the split pane. One thing I’ve always wanted was to always keep both split panes open.

Turns out it’s possible. First, set closeEmptyGroups to false.

Second, add a custom key binding that will disable cmd-w on an empty group:

{
	"key": "cmd+w",
	"command": "-workbench.action.closeGroup",
	"when": "activeEditorGroupEmpty && multipleEditorGroups"
}
