Manage VS Code workspaces and windows

For a while now I’ve been using VS Code and workspaces with the Claude Code extension to manage multiple projects. This often means having several separate windows open simultaneously and switching between them to respond to different project statuses.

To help manage this, I’ve set up a local system message (hook) that reminds me when a Claude Code session in a specific workspace has a question for me or ends.

I’d like to transition to using Claude Code in the terminal within VS Code. It offers more specific options and I’d also like to reduce the number of open windows projects and workspaces. Ideally, I’d like to consolidate everything into a single window displaying multiple projects with multiple Claude Code terminal sessions/tabs.

So, I’m curious about how others manage this and what their pro tips are.
