Quick Action Tools puts everyday VS Code actions within easy reach, helping you stay focused and move through common tasks with fewer clicks.
Features
- Workspace shortcuts — Open Recent from the Status Bar or Explorer and see the current workspace at a glance.
- Git changes — Open changes for the active repository from the Status Bar.
- Terminal controls — Toggle the Terminal or the entire Panel without closing running sessions.
- Editor layout — Maximize the editor and restore the Primary and Secondary Side Bars.
