Tabs: grouped split views

[OliverJAsh]

I often work between two or three files, e.g. 1 CSS, JS, and HTML file each. When multi tasking I need to switch between groups of these files. For example:

foo.js
foo.html
foo.css

bar.js
bar.html
bar.css

When I'm finished working on foo, and I want to work on bar, I want to switch to a split view of each file in bar. This workflow is not really supported using the latest tabs interface.

Sounds like a fun extension to write :)

I have recently switched to vim which does this very well.

I can have one tab for each component, within which I can have splits for the JS, HTML, and CSS of that component.

Are there any other issues/feature requests similar to this? I suspect it may be a popular feature request

[mattwilson1024]

This would be a really great feature. From what I can tell the extension API doesn't expose enough to make this possible with an extension either though at the moment - see #15178

This feature request will not be considered in the next 6-12 months roadmap and as such will be closed to keep the number of issues we have to maintain actionable. Thanks for understanding and happy coding!
