Wonder if it's possible to create File groups.
File group is a collection of files that you can open/close them together.
A simple example would be in C, the .c and .h file can treat as a group.
More useful example would be "collection of files related to certain function of the project"
Usage would be able to open/close them together, so when you want to debug certain function, you open them all (optional), when you are done, you close them all.
Currently VS support "Close" "Close All" and "Close All But This", but it's still tiresome to:
1. having many files opened around.
2. Close them all (order close all but this) when you complete debugging one function and re-open the files that you was working on.

One work around is in the VA view, you can multiselect the opened files, right click and close.

Lets say you are working on a part of the project, you opened 10 files.
Then your colleague comes by and ask you a question, you opened another 10 files to understand and solved the problem.
Now you have 20 files open. You can:
1. Leave them alone..............
2. Close the 10 files one by one
3. Close All or Close All but this (doesn't make much difference) and then open the 10/9 files again. |

I mean the key is able to close related files at the same time. Closing files one by one from the tab (or ctrl-f4) is painful.
open files are easy, you can just use F12 to open them.
