Auto Unlock Editor Group

VS Code extension that automatically unlocks editor groups when tabs are closed.

Problem

Some extensions (like Claude Code) automatically lock editor groups, causing new files to open in split view instead of as tabs in the same group.

Solution

This extension monitors tab changes and automatically unlocks editor groups, ensuring files open as expected.

Installation

Search for "Auto Unlock Editor Group" in the VS Code Extensions marketplace.
