Description
It would be useful to have a visual preview when hovering over an open editor tab in VS Code, similar to how Windows shows a window preview when hovering over an app on the taskbar.
When hovering over a file tab, VS Code could display a small preview of the file/editor content without requiring a click to switch tabs.
This would make it much easier to identify files when many tabs are open, especially when filenames are similar or truncated.
A lightweight, non-interactive preview would be ideal. Thanks.
