I was just thinking that sometimes I avoid breaking functions in a file into multiple modules because I don't want to deal with the hassle of switching files. One way to remove that hassle would be to have a way to view all the files in a folder in a single tab with each file appended to the list, so I could scroll through or search all of them in the same tab.

Does VS Code already have an extension like this? If not, is the VS Code extension system flexible enough to implement this feature?

Yeh, this actually seems like a uniquely awesome way to view a folder.
Would need to have obvious file break markers. And I dunno if it would make other tooling do too much (like, it's supposed to work on 1 maybe 2 visible files at a time. Showing 10 at once might make it lag to hell.)
