Is there an add-in for Visual Studio that lets you save the list of files/tabs you currently have open in Visual Studio, like the session manager you get built-in to Opera?
I don't mean how can I save all currently open files (Ctrl + Shift + S) or how can I get all the files I have open reopened when I reopen Visual Studio.
I mean how can I have a set of files open for one issue/bug, then save that list when another more important issue/bug comes up then reopen the saved list of files I previously had open. That way I wouldn't have to gp and find all the files I had open originally or have to keep lots of files open at once.
Thanks

Over time, I got used to Ctrl+S saving all the modified files in the project. Here is how to setup the same behavior in VSCode. This will invert the shortcuts for the Save and Save All actions. From now on, Ctrl+S will save all the modified files.
The File > Add Folder to Workspace command brings up an Open Folder dialog to select the new folder. Once a root folder is added, the Explorer will show the new folder as a root in the File Explorer. You can right-click on any of the root folders and use the context menu to add or remove folders.
Starting with 17.2 Preview 1, the new autosave feature will help with this. Use Visual Studio Search (Ctrl+Q) and look for “autosave”. That will take you to the Environment\Documents page in Tools\Options.
Save All The Tabs is a great extension that seems to perfectly satisfy this request. I'm dropping it here since this post comes up in the first few google results for "visual studio save tabs".
Document Session Manager add-in appears to provide the functionality you are after. However, it hasn't been updated since April 2010.
Favorite Documents extension lets you create links to frequently used code files and then quickly open them as a group or individually from the Favorites menu in Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013.
