vscode-onetabs README

1. what's this project

onetab for vscode

The reason for why you need this extension comes from this convenience.

When dealing with large projects, and working on multiple tasks, you may open dozens of files in tab windows, and you may get lost in these tabs. Don't worry, this extension will save you from that dilemma.

2. usage

send tab(s) to onetab extension in right click context.

Rename, pin, set tags, remove or restore tab groups in onetab extension

Send tab(s) into specific tab group

restore or remove tab from tab group

send file into blacklist and edit blacklist in configuration

you can send one file

list and search tab group by their name or tags

drag and drop the tab group or tabs

auto group by large language model's api

there are three strategies for autogroup:

1. dir: the files' directory hierarchy
2. ext: file's extension type, .rs, .js .etc
3. filename: file names

The UI supports mix of multiple strategies, but single strategy's effect is the best.

Notice: we only support claude api now(since it's entirely free), and you need to edit the api key in settings.json, welcome to contribute and add support of other LLM's api and our prompts

track the git branch switch and initialization

This feature will track te git branch's switch and change the active treeview accordingly.

When you switch to a new branch, the active treeview will be clearly, the previous branch's state will be saved in the readonly treeview "ONETAB BRANCHES"; but if you switch to a branch that exists before, the original state will be restored.

You can also migrate the tab's state from one branch to the current branch.
