Is there any way to group tabs into contexts?

#1

Howdy,

Note that I will be using the term “context” to mean “a logical grouping of things,” versus the specific Sublime Text meaning. I am really talking about a mental context, versus a code context. In one mental context, there may be multiple code contexts. If that makes sense.

I have a project which has three very distinct contexts: an ansible context, a python context, and a javascript context. I frequently find myself switching between these contexts fairly regularly. The way I have been solving this is with multiple windows. I will open tabs relating to a specific context in the same window, then have multiple windows open. The problem is that it is a constant pain trying to figure out which window is which.

What I would really like is some way to swap between groups of tabs, preferably named groups of tabs. I suppose this could be done with Projects, however that mechanism is a bit slow and noisy; I’d prefer to have multiple “contexts” within one project.

Are there any plugins or native features that help with this? Thanks!
