Open previous files on Refresh

[quangv]

🌈 Feature

If you "refresh" the codesandbox page, all your previous open files/tabs would be restored.

This is useful for when the app stops compiling (having some issues with Vue, the preview window freezes) You can just hit "refresh" on your browser, and get all your files/tabs back, with working Vue build.

Not sure how would go about implementing, maybe it's already implemented and I'm just refreshing the page wrong?

Hey @quangv ,

This used to work (as far as I remember), but looks like it stopped working once we switched to VSCode as the default editor?

@CompuIves , is this an oversight?

Just looking for this feature today.

I can confirm that with PROD-1561557066-4a5dea6e4, refreshing does cause the file under main in package.json to be opened (src/index.js in my case):

any updates?

This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is removed or a comment is made.

Now with the file parameter in the URL, at least when refreshing the last opened file gets reopened:

https://codesandbox.io/s/prismjs-forked-wu91d?file=/src/index.js

[CompuIves]

I still think this would be a great feature! Keeping it open.

hello stale bot, so nice to see you again

[YoungElPaso]

Seconding this.

I really like codesandbox.io (it even has Vim keybindings!). But this feature would be a very welcome addition, as I am realizing as my React app scales and I have to work on several files.

Not stale

[sannek]

Sorry about that - I added no-stale so it won't get closed again, and pinging @CompuIves to see if this has actually made it onto our backlog?

[karlhorky]

Thanks!
