Is there any setting in Visual Studio 2008 to group/organize tabs? For example, I'd prefer to have all code-behind files open in a tab next to its .aspx page if that page is open and vice versa. Dragging tabs around really kills my productivity.

There is no setting for this, but take a look at the documentation for writing visual studio add-ins. This would be a pretty simple one to set up.

Check ot this link - it explains how to make the active tab jump to the left-most position, thereby effectively keeping the most used tabs from 'falling off': window tab management in Visual Studio

Thanks, that's interesting. I tried it but couldn't get used to it. From what I've read, many agree that there needs to be an overhaul of how VS tabs work in general.

It has worked beautifully for me. I bumbled into this many months ago, and was trying to re-find it for my new computer. Thanks so much!

Jonathan,

Tabs Studio add-in can automatically group .aspx and .aspx.cs windows in one tab.

Thanks for developing this. So far, it looks exactly like what I was looking for!
