Salesforce Developer Console Sidebar Extension

Make the Salesforce Developer Console a delight to use by replacing the useless tabs with an elegant sidebar.

The Tabs in the Salesforce Developer Console are barely usable, with no way to control their order, only a few fit on the screen and scrolling is a nightmare.

By moving the tabs to the side of the screen, you can see all of your open classes and components.

By making the font narrower, you can now read the entire names of your classes.

By sorting alphabetically, you can quickly navigate to the file you want to work with.
