Editor Pockets is an extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) designed to help users manage their open files in the editor more effectively.
Features ⚡
- 📂 Versatility: Supports adding, removing, renaming pockets, and opening files with a click.
- 📝 Manual Logging: This extension allows you to manually log open document editors in Visual Studio Code by triggering commands from the VSCode tab.
- 🔄 Sequential Restoration: Easily restore previously logged document editors in the order they were recorded.
