SideTabs has moved to Bays

SideTabs is no longer maintained. Its successor is Bays: the same idea rebuilt from scratch, with your editor tabs as a vertical list in the sidebar.

Get Bays

Bays on the Marketplace

Or search for Bays in the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).

If you stay here

Nothing breaks. This version works exactly as it always has, and it is the last one: there will be no further updates to SideTabs.

What does not carry over

Bays is a separate extension, so it brings its own settings and its own commands. Three things to redo after installing it:

  • Settings. sidetabs.fontSize, sidetabs.tabHeight and sidetabs.showDirectoryPath have no effect in Bays. Set the equivalents there.
  • Keybindings. Anything you bound to a sidetabs.* command stops firing.
  • Panel placement. If you had dragged the SideTabs panel out of the activity bar, Bays starts in its own default spot.
