Visual Studio - Custom document tab bar grouping

Question

Does anybody know how the Visual Studio editor can be customized to group certain open documents together. It's almost like the "Document Well 2010 Plus" extension (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/06/10/document-well-2010-plus.aspx). We don't want to group them by project, but on another custom way. I searched in the "editor extension points" document, but could not find something useful.

Answer 1

I can think of the following ways that may help you:

• Use Productivity Power Tools - this groups and colours tabs based on project

• Tear off the tabs you want to keep together into a new window

• If you want them really separate - open a new instance of Visual Studio!

• You could also try Tabs Studio, however, I have tried it and didn't really like it that much, though may suit your needs.
