What is Tab Session?

The plugin adds two new Actions Save Tab Session and Load Tab Session to IDEA in three different menues:

The save dialog allows you to save the current set of open tabs:

The load dialog allows to reload a previously saved session:

Additionally, you are able to add, modify, remove and reorder sessions and their tabs in the Tab Session Settings page:
