⚠️ DEPRECATED. Use "Tab Tree" (surranov.tab-tree) instead — a full rewrite with tab groups, multi-root workspaces, non-file tabs, git decorations, and 260+ tests. This extension is no longer maintained.

Nested Open Editors (legacy)
A VS Code extension that displays open editors as a file tree, similar to the regular file explorer.
Key Features
Folder Structure: Displays open files in their hierarchical folder structure.
Always Expanded: The tree is always displayed in a fully expanded view.
Automatic Focus: The open file automatically gets focus and is displayed in the tree.

Close All Files: Button to close all open editors.
Close Individual Files: Ability to close an individual file using the cross icon that appears on hover.
Temporary Files Support: Display of temporary files in italics, just like in the standard Open Editors view.
Drag and Drop Support: Move files between folders by dragging and dropping them in the tree view.
Context Menu: Standard VS Code context menu with copy path, reveal in explorer, and other file operations.
