[Feature] Internal synctex: Reveal .tex tab if open

[Toliak]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I'm using synctex with internal PDF viewer. When I'm Ctrl+Clicking the content, source code usually opens in wrong group.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to expect, that source code tab will reveal, if it is already opened.

Simular feature is implemented in workbench.editor.revealIfOpen, however, this setting does not work with synctex.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe there is a setting, that enables described feature. Unfortunately, I did not find it..

Additional context

2. (Expected revealing existing tab)
   

UPD:

It seems that removing the viewColumn argument from

LaTeX-Workshop/src/components/locator.ts

Line 344 in c52a5df

vscode.window.showTextDocument(doc, viewColumn).then((editor) => {

fixes it. When no viewColumn argument is provided, the default value ViewColumn.Active is used, but its meaning is not clear to me. Yet, in this case it always reveals an already opened editor no matter the value of workbench.editor.revealIfOpen.

I have found that we cannot implement the requested feature due to the restriction of VS Code API. The same request as this issue is microsoft/vscode/issues/13639, which is forwarded to microsoft/vscode/issues/15178, which is locked as too heated.

Oh, ok. I'll wait for mentioned VSCode issue resolution..
Thank you for feedback!

Reopen the issue since microsoft/vscode#15178 (comment) is going to be implemented.
