Aux window: tree-like hierarchy in open editors #196698

@asedii

Description

@asedii

Currently, the list of open editors is organized in groups and windows as follows:

  • GROUP 1
    • ...
  • GROUP 2
    • ...
  • WINDOW 2: GROUP 1
    • ...
  • WINDOW 2: GROUP 2
    • ...

The current organization of open editors can become unmanageable, particularly when working with multiple groups and windows. I suggest a tree-like hierarchy structure:

  • WINDOW 1
    • GROUP 1
      • ...
    • GROUP 2
      • ...
  • WINDOW 2
    • GROUP 1
      • ...
    • GROUP 2
      • ...

Also, I suggest showing the window and group labels when there is more than one of each. This means that when two windows are open and each has a group we can simply show this:

  • WINDOW 1
    • ...
  • WINDOW 2
    • ...

Advantages:

  • Improved Organization
  • Efficient Navigation
  • Reduced Clutter
  • Clear Separation
