Workspace File Bookmarks
Working across a multi-root or multi-repo workspace means the files you care about are scattered across folders you keep re-opening. Workspace File Bookmarks gives you one sidebar to pin the files you actually use — organized into your own folders, one click away, no matter which repo they live in.
Features
- Bookmark from anywhere — the editor title bar, the command palette, or right-click in the Explorer, including multi-select to bookmark several files at once.
- Organize into folders — create, rename, delete, and move bookmarks between your own folders via right-click "Move to Folder...".
- Open a whole folder at once — right-click a bookmark folder to open every file inside it.
- Tree or flat list — toggle the sidebar view from the title bar to match how you think.
- Multi-root aware — each bookmark shows which repository/workspace folder it belongs to.
- Persists per workspace — bookmarks are stored in VS Code's workspace state, so they survive reloads.
