Broom

A tiny VS Code extension that tidies up your workspace with one command.

Command

  • Broom: Sweep (broom.sweep)
    • Closes the primary sidebar, secondary (auxiliary) sidebar, and panel if they are open.
    • Dismisses any open editor find widgets across all visible editors.
    • Closes all diff-style editor tabs (text diffs and notebook diffs) across every tab group.
    • Dirty diff tabs trigger VS Code's standard save prompt.

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run Broom: Sweep.

No default keybinding is registered. To bind one, add to your keybindings.json:

{ "key": "ctrl+alt+b", "command": "broom.sweep" }
