@KyDenZ I haven't forgotten about this but I wanted to get one change in before this to make tab groups works out of the box going forwards I'm creating native support for dockview to have tab context menus here. It's something I've been meaning to do for awhile and this change for tab groups would be a great use case for it allowing tabgroups to work by default through the native tab dropdown. Once I merge this we can add tab groups as a default tab context menu item and then get this merged. |

…nd, and drag-and-drop Introduces a tab grouping system that allows panels to be organized into named, colored groups with collapsible chips. Includes smooth drag-and-drop reordering for both individual tabs and entire groups, with Chrome-style underline indicators and FLIP animations. Key additions: - TabGroup data model with color, label, collapse/expand, serialization - Tab group chip renderer (default + framework bindings for React, Vue, Angular) - DockviewApi methods: createTabGroup, dissolveTabGroup, addPanelToTabGroup, etc. - Drag constraints: groups cannot be dropped inside other groups - Adjacent-tab-to-group drop fix for position 0 - Demo template with context menu for group management - Factored _commitGroupMove helper to eliminate 3x duplication - Removed dead code (unreachable lastIdx+1 branch)
… color picker - Add getTabGroupChipContextMenuItems callback to DockviewOptions - Add 'colorPicker' as a built-in chip menu item that renders a native color swatch grid - Wire contextmenu event on TabGroupChip through ContextMenuController.showForChip() - Fix DnD regression: inverted tabAnimation condition in tabs.ts drop handler - Fix smooth animation running in default mode by guarding runFlipAnimation call - Refactor tab-groups example to use native context menu APIs (remove custom React ContextMenu component)
