@tavuntu @Krzysztof-Cieslak I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. The terminal view can be maximized by clicking the maximize panel size button with the upwards chevron icon. +1 @laserbeak I think the complications arise from having to handle window management across several operating systems. While I express as much enthusiasm as anyone here about the prospect of multi-window, I am happy to wait as long as it takes. -- At any rate, Visual Studio does this amazingly well, perhaps you could reach out to the Visual Studio Prime team and ask to just borrow their code for this bit. Move between open windows or when dragged to desktop will open a new window for that tab. This way I get more real estate while still keeping an eye on the terminal / output, which I believe is one of the main reasons for floating windows. It really aids productivity and for that single reason I still use WS instead of VSC. Indeed, and I remember seeing someone talk about an idea for GitHub to implement an automatic "+1 to top-post convertion" system, and that would be great for those still in the mindset of +1'ing to add their vote. Or is it more about VSCode one project <-> one window design? This is 3rd by thumbs up and is 2nd in number of comments. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. As I said, It's not ideal by any means, but it's what I've been using as my workaround using the workspaces feature. :) Just giving my opinion after seems like most of the people already have they given with some +1 :). That seems like a quick way to get this topic locked. This is similar to opening Markdown preview tabs which also duplicates itself at times. r/programming Hi r/programming. 12:22 Uhr: @Deltatiger https://github.com/Deltatiger Is this shipped already? You are currently in a difficult situation to somehow solve it, without corruption everything that has been created so far, but the earlier you take this challenge the better for everyone, after spends of more time and the writing of more code may be too late for such change. It's sometimes really nice to edit a JS widget file there, with the corresponding HTML and CSS files in a maximized split pane on an adjacent monitor.

I might do some digging around later in the code to see if I could find a way to at least just have one workspace span multiple windows. It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. TIL, dragging tabs onto another vscode window opens the file on that window too. File - New Window ,open a new terminal in new window. i would love to detach debugger console so as to view on 2nd monitor. is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". Hope we will get this eventually, this is a must have :). For example, you might see a big multi-colored triangle instead of text. Ah, I read originally @n9 this was an electron problem. Support Dragging VSCode Document Tabs, Tool and Extension Windows out of an IDE instance across multiple workspaces/monitors. I do not care if it's lightweight either. If I don't like bread, no one should eat it! It's not the cleanest way of supporting multiple monitors/windows, however you can do the following: Now drag a tab in your already existing Visual Studio Code window into the new window you just opened. My workstation is composed by a laptop and an addittional monitor, which is rotated vertically for the sake of better reading. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. "Ctrl + K then O" In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. Imagine: You get in a taxi and tell the driver your destination. Even more, the windows are all equal, fully functional windows, meaning you can open a second window and close the original project window and you still have a full project window. That's not the solution. The look of Visual Studio Code's terminal can be customized extensively. Specifically editor tabs. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-16/how-working-in-vr-could-make-you-more-productive ==> Boom: Workspace is now multi-monitor. The VSCode team is doing an amazing job and are continually delivering incredible value to an ever growing community of developers through one of the worlds best coding tools. Big oversight on Microsoft's account. @vossad01 You are right I was confused for a sec, because I came from the closed issue #10147 where it said "Already addressed by #10121" and I took "addressed" as "solved". Anyway, the point is: there is high demand NOW and it is absolutely being ignored. The silence is odd for an open source project, but unfortunately typical for a company like Microsoft. This is awsome app, and I recently move from Webstorm to vscode. One thing it is not, is IDE. Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. Also, if it proves to have this effect on workstations, have the opportunity to turn this feature off entirely. Like Youtube Mini Player? 400+ upvotes. They also have limited support for line and column suffixes. I think it would be a good option to expose on the right-click menu for the active tab and/or items in the Open Editors document explorer. The problem is, these guys are not giving an answer and even if they have a good reason not to implement this, their silence tell us they just don't care about this request. +1 If VS code's UX functioned like atom's I would make the switch. No Im going to use it as a preview panel :). I'm not sure why this feature never gets progressed as it has massive support and given code is electron app it's perfectly doable and degradable if you ever ran outside of electron. +1 Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub An easier solution to implement (?) Add code coverage, team services, merge conflict tooling, full customization of the layout, build in package manager, cloud explorer, sql explorer, server explorer, application insights, class view, object browser, etc etc etc. The actual APP could just be a "container" for multiple canvas that can be rearranged inside. There is still the challenge that the one window is not really aware of the other window. This automatic injection can be disabled by setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false. I agree with the "let's not make this compete with Visual Studio" comment. Should be on the roadmap. This is done by configuring your shell outside VS Code, typically by modifying the $PS1 variable, setting a $PROMPT_COMMAND or installing a plugin. Any idea would be helpful! I understand the fact that there are technical complexities to implement this feature. The world isn't perfect, make the best of what we have and get the job done. @mlewand this is no area where we expect a PR due to technical limitations. @Krzysztof-Cieslak Floating panels are built to be entirely optional in Visual Studio (i.e. You are receiving this because you commented. Please tell me. Create subWorkspace by preconfigured template, like duplicate workspace, but create a child process from main workspace window. This should be a major long-term goal until it gets done. @RoyTinker Please guys, do it! But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux on your Windows 10 machine. But, dont know recently why its not working +1. I saw someone requesting the same for markdown windows not using that, but shouldn't be too difficult to achieve with the same solution, right? Why not a separate git application? You don't like it, go and pay JetBrains or Microsoft for something that has all the features you require. I do know you do not speak for the VSC-Team. Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. I do hope this feature can be given higher priority, especially given it has been open for over a year now. I would suspect this implies some heavy rewriting of a bunch of core features. Terminal Basics Visual Studio Code includes a full featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. @Krzysztof-Cieslak, you say old IDE's had a design problem that forced us to have multiple monitors, OK, I'll take that, I don't know enough on that topic to say that's right or wrong (and I was born in 1991 so I didn't really have a chance), but it doesn't matter how you see it, it's more productive to see 2 or more files at the same time than clicking tabs or using some key combinations to change the view, this is specially true when these files have a strong dependency. @faustinoaq Yes. It's fundamental to multi-monitor coding. Flake it till you make it: how to detect and deal with flaky tests (Ep. I recently, started using JetBrains tools as an alternative. If this feature gets implemented, you don't have to have multiple monitors to use VS Code. But this will never give the same freedom as freely dragging mini specialized windows (say one for Terminal, one for git and one for say a second terminal). You can search for existing issues here. Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". If I can't open directly into a new window then I need to be able to tear off a tab into a new window or to be able to drag a tab to a separate VSCode window (as created with FileNew Window), Im using a WYSIWYG viewer plugin for editing AsciiDocs. So getting back to topic: What can we do? Well done, linking some unrelated to IDEs (or text editing in general) links to the VR hype articles in such respectable computer science / software engineering medias as Guardian and Bloomberg totally shows your point of view. We only need 88 more votes to make it to the top 10. _What features do other IDEs have that vscode doesn't?_ There are some things I'm sure, but not many. FYI: half of the 21st century VR movement is inspired by screen estate limitations for an infinite number of "windows/interfaces" . This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. Would be nice to have similar to PyCharm/CLion. @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac.
