Hello, fellow developers!
I’m excited to introduce Tabby, my very first VSCode extension, designed to help you manage, close, and restore tabs efficiently.
💡 Key Features
-
Tab Mode (F10 Activation):
- One-key shortcuts for tab management.
- Close tabs (
w
), navigate between them (j
/k
), reorder tabs (a
/d
), and even jump directly to a specific tab by index (1-9).
-
Powerful Filtering Options:
- Hit
f
in Tab Mode or use the commandTabby: Filter Tabs in Active Tab Group
to filter tabs based on:-
Wildcard Patterns:
*
for any sequence,_
for a single character. -
Path-Based Filter:
?myfolder
keeps tabs matching a specific folder path. -
Index-Based Filters: Single index (e.g.,
1
), ranges (e.g.,3:5
), and more. -
Filenames containing only numbers:
\123
for files named "123".
-
Wildcard Patterns:
- Hit
-
Combined Filtering:
- Mix and match filters! For example:
*.py, 1:4, \123, ?myfolder
will keep all.py
files, tabs in the 1-4 range, the file123
, and files inmyfolder
open.
- Mix and match filters! For example:

. Also view your closed tabs from the 'Tab History' in the File Explorer View. - Press u in Tab Mode to undo restore tabs closed recently (works only for tabs closed/filtered using Tabby).

It’s my first extension, so all suggestions and constructive feedback are greatly appreciated!
