Dragging terminals tabs should group and ungroup them

[connor4312]

I've instinctively tried on more than one occasion:

1. Dragging a terminal tab atop another one to group it (like dragging a file onto a folder in the explorer)
2. Dragging a terminal tab in a group out to ungroup it (like dragging a nested file in the explorer to the root of the workspace)

It would be nice if these affordances worked for terminal tabs 🙂

We thought when we did this to only allow rearranging via the tabs views and if you want to group you would need to drag into the actual terminal area. The explorer doesn't have this problem as it's sorted automatically. Open to suggestions but not sure how to resolve that.

I way I've seen to do this is to have "edges" so that dragging a tab in a small area between two tabs would have a horizontal highlight bar between them, and rearrange. While dragging tab more directly atop another tab highlights the tab itself and will split them.

I don't think the list currently supports that?

Not currently 🙂

I hit this today--I wanted to have two terminals next to each other so I could watch the output for both since the tasks were related, but forgot to click 'split terminal' and instead clicked new terminal. Then I tried dragging the newly terminal on top of an existing one to get to a split view and found that didn't work.

Created #200745 to explore the idea of a new dnd edge feature in the list widget.

This is unblocked:

Lists/Trees now support drag and drop between items. This can be tested in the Open Editors View (Supports multi select drag and drop) and in the Debug Watch Expressions View. It's also possible for lists/trees to use DnD between items in some cases and DnD over items in other cases.
