The PR below is a spiritual success to this PR that we're hoping will actually get merged: @jonathanjameswatson PR that adds a revealIfOpenInActiveGroup option. There's a video demo. #205442 Please also +1 in this issue: #204942 The option allows users to automatically recall (move) an open Editor into the active Editor Group. This allows user accustomed to Emacs or vi/vim/neovim buffer-centric workflows to use Quick Find as a buffer switcher without undesirable opening files once-per-Editor Group. It basically allows you to not really worry about which file (Editor) is in which Editor Group at all. |
