[Feature] Multi-root outliner, tabbed view

[perholmes]

I use Typora for editing docs in 15 different Git repositories. Switching between them is tedious enough that I find myself editing via VS Code or Notepad++, which Typora was supposed to replace. The request is for an easier way to switch back and forth between multiple workspaces, and secondarily a tabbed view to more easily switch between current files.

MULTI-ROOT WORKSPACE

VS Code allows you to mount multiple projects in the same outliner. I have 15 Docker containers as 15 top-level folders in the outliner. This is a fundamental, first-class workflow. Other IDEs have Solutions that again allow you to mount multiple folders next to each other.

The pinned recent folders in the bottom left of Typora is not good enough for switching projects, because:

• All my docs folders are called "docs", so I basically just have a list of 15 recent folders all called "docs".
• It still takes significant concentration to work on two projects at the same time, because switching project requires digging the correct project out of a menu and losing all context. Switching every 15 seconds is painful. In a multi-root workspace, it's not.
• The very concept of "switching projects" is wrong. You should be edit to work in multiple repositories at the same time, especially if the repositories are related and you're doing cross-cutting changes.

TABBED CURRENT FILES

Again, with Typora, you're forced to completely lose context every time you switch files. There's no concept of having 3 files you're currently working on. Every time you close a file, you have to dig the same file out of the folder tree from scratch. Every single time. It's a significant tax on work that makes me not use Typora as much as I'd like in the real world, unless I'm sitting down for a major writing session in a single document.

That's the request. IDEs have proved that multi-root and tabs are fundamentally correct features, and they're worth the effort to bring to Typora.
