Use an elementary list of files in the current directory

Description

I want to jump between different *.py files on the fly without the need to restart the marimo server

Suggested solution

A little window on the left that may disappear and pop up whenever user is hovering over the left area of the screen

Do you need to have multiple notebooks open? Or would you be satisfied if the UI just let you switch between files, with every switch closing the current notebook (deleting its state from memory) and opening a new one?

[tschm]

@akshayka It would be nice to have them open all in parallel but their states should be kept strictly orthogonal.

[tschm]

I think you could have something like "marimo edit 'folder'", e.g. all the py files in folder would open

We haven't quite implemented this yet.

But for people who use VS Code (@tschm, if I recall you might not ...) -- we do have a marimo VS Code extension that basically provides this functionality from within VS Code itself:

• you can edit/run marimo notebooks after opening them in VS Code
• there's a marimo panel that shows you all the marimo notebooks in your project directory
