This extension allows you to quickly switch between sets of files (i.e. "workviews") within a VS Code window.

Your active workview is automatically saved each time it is switched. The extension shows up in the "Explorer" tab and can be rearranged.

Extension Preview

Features

  • Easily create a workview by clicking the "+" at the top right of the extension
  • Autosaves current workview when a new workview is selected
  • Keeps track of files relevant to a workview when they are opened and closed (also manually removable)
  • Attempts to restore the tabs in the same grid position
  • Ability to pin documents to keep them in the workview document list

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • workviews.rememberActiveWorkview: (boolean) Keep track of active workview in saved state
  • workviews.restorePinnedOnly: (boolean) Restore only the pinned and last viewed documents, rather than all documents opened

Release Notes

  • Install NPM and run npm install
