Separate Code

Overview

The Separate Code is a powerful Visual Studio Code extension designed to streamline your coding workflow by simplifying the process of extracting and editing code portions. It provides a dedicated, synchronized tab where you can effortlessly work on extracted code segments, all while maintaining real-time synchronization with their original sources. This extension is ideal for code manipulation, refactoring, and enhancing your overall coding efficiency.

⚠️ DO NOT UPDATE THE SOURCE CODE WHILE YOU HAVE THE NEW TAB OPEN, AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THE SOURCE CODE ON EVERY CHANGE YOU DO IN THE NEW TAB. ⚠️

Features

• Effortless Code Extraction: Select and extract code sections from your source code effortlessly with a single click.
• Synchronized Editing: Experience real-time synchronization between the extracted code and its original source. Any changes made in the extracted code tab are immediately reflected in the source file.
• Enhanced Refactoring: Easily refactor your code by extracting methods, functions, or classes into separate tabs for focused editing.
• Improved Code Management: Keep your code organized by isolating and working on specific code segments.

1. Install the Separate Code extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Open your desired project in Visual Studio Code.
