Header/Source Side-By-Side

View on Marketplace Install banner

Made by Direct :)

This extension will attempt to open a related file (myFile.cpp / myFile.h) in a tab group to the left and right. Running the command again will swap the cursor location from these two groups. This is similar to Xcode.

Features

  • Open the header and implementation files (or any similarly named files) side-by-side.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • header-source-side-by-side.side-by-side: Open a tab group to the right or left with the related file.
  • header-source-side-by-side.switch_file_in_same_window: Swap between the related file in the same group.
