📁 Logical Grouping

Break free from folder structures. Group Controller, View, and Style files together in one logical tab, regardless of where they live on disk.

🤖 AI Context Export

One-click copy. Export the entire file group content to your clipboard, perfectly formatted for ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot context.

💾 Persistent Workflow

Native tabs disappear when you close VS Code. VirtualTabs stay. Your workspace context is saved automatically.
