vs-tab-groups

Create and manage tab groups to improve your development workflow.

Extension available at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bentodaniel.vs-tab-groups

Features

• Create file groups
• Remove file groups
• Add files to a group
• Remove files from a group
• Open a group, i.e., all associated files, in the editor
• Close a group of files previously opened in the editor

Workspace's tab groups are saved automatically, so you have them ready when you come back to your work.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• vs-tab-groups.replaceTabGroups: If true, when opening a tab group, all other open tab groups in the editor will be replaced. If false, the new tab group will be opened, keeping all other tabs in the editor.
• vs-tab-groups.ignorePaths: Configure patterns to ignore files and folders when adding files to groups.
• vs-tab-groups.expandLevel: Configure depth of expansion of groups. (Note that, currently there is only 1 level of depth so changing this value will have no influence).

Known Issues

• Must open a folder to create groups. It is not possible to create groups of individual files.
• When trying to add files to a group, a tab must be opened. VSCode uses this tab's file path to identify the path to the open folder.
• When opening a tab group for the first time, it may not open all tabs. This only happens once, therefore, it is not a big issue.
