Hi all,
I’d like to suggest a new feature for Node-RED: **the ability to group tabs (flows)** within the editor. In larger projects, we often end up with dozens of tabs, which becomes hard to navigate and cluttered.
**The idea is to allow creation of "tab groups"** , like folders or collapsible sets. Example groupings:
- **Group 1:** Tabs 1 to 4
- **Group 2:** Only tabs 2 and 3
- **Group 3 onward:** continue standalone or in other groups
These groups could be collapsible or shown as sub-tabs, similar to how many IDEs handle files in large projects.
**Expected benefits:**
- Better visual organization
- Easier modular division (e.g., input, processing, output)
- Scales well for complex flows
