Organizing entry points

[drironshirt]

Type: Feature Request

Hello VS Code Team,

I use the Recent List under the host to navigate our large projects. It is wonderful, because each entry point is saved with it's own session and when reconnecting to a subdirectory/app, the files I had last been working on are right where I left them: Opened and scrolled to the relevant section. To elaborate further: When I am working on our API, I connect to the host through a designated entry point and all the files that I had been recently working on are loaded. If then a customer requests some changes for another app, I can close the former session, knowing that the state is saved, and then connect through the designated entry point for the app and all those files are loaded.

This is a very powerful behaviour and I imagine many people using the Recent List for that to keep their "desk" organized.

It would be great, if instead of navigating the Recent List, we were able to order our entry points hierarchically. This would allow us to navigate large projects more effectively. For example:

The Recent List could become a tab under each host, with the option to expand or hide it. Below this tab could be another tab, like "Desk", in which we could organize our entry points, by adding sub-tabs/directories to the tab and labels to the entry points.

I sincerely hope you also see the use in implementing a feature like that.

Best Regards
Julian
