Editor Group Minimizer for VSCode

Visual Studio Marketplace Rating

How many times have you been working on a feature with 20 different editor tabs open only to be derailed to work on a one off task or bug fix? You now have to decide:

  1. Shove all your current tabs into a split editor, sacrificing window real estate because that split can never be fully minimized?
  2. Try keeping your previous work separate from your current using a README as an ineffective boarder guard?
  3. Start closing tabs out while telling yourself, "I'll remember where I was, this is fine!"

this is fine!

Features

Quickly save a list of all open Editor tabs and place them into an easily managed view. From there, you can see a preview of the files, restore them back into tabs, rename the group for better organization, or remove the reference list from the view.

Note: This does not save or edit the files within the list. It only saves, restores, and removes the references from the view. The files will remain untouched.

Known Issues

  • VSCode doesn't support direct tab access via the API so options of what we can do is limited.
