And this whole "workaround" is not even practical, we need a real floating window feature like it's implemented in other editors. No response. _Probable solution: Open new instance of VSCode instead of implementation of frameless windows, but add a command line option to let it use first instance's shared extensions (Problem: Extension host can be shared or is tied to instance?)._. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. If not having this feature truly prevents you from using VS Code then you are free to contribute a pull request that implements at least some of the required changes to get this working. The integrated terminal can use various shells installed on your machine, with the default being pulled from your system defaults. It seems to be a bigger task, thus it make sense to ask before going with implementation. For example: If you wanted to open a project folder in VSCode, its easy with the command prompt. Allow debug-actions-widget position adjustable and configurable. 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. For instance, open the directory for your app in one window, and the 'public' folder in the other window. It would a great feature, if the performance doesn't go down because of it. Also from main workspace window we as developers could create a bridge service, that would listen from child duplicated workspaces events, and main workspace window could interact with that. It is unfortunate that the issue author has the priorities so ass-backwards, but I can't believe nobody at Microsoft has seen this ticket at some point over the past year, recognized the immense value in being able to drag an editor tab from one window to another (your Visual Studio crowd has been doing this for decades) and made this happen by now. I do not care if it's lightweight either. I looked through the documentation but couldn't figure out which one to use. The terminal view can be maximized by clicking the maximize panel size button with the upwards chevron icon. I do not think we can expect this feature anytime in the near feature. or "Do it because I'm too lazy to do it myself." Thanks for the answers. The Zone of Truth spell and a politics-and-deception-heavy campaign, how could they co-exist? Otherwise I'm probably not the best person to ask. Before that, nobody wanted or even knew about floating windows. To disable this feature, you can set: See the minimum contrast ratio section for more information. Would be a great first step to make that detachable. You signed in with another tab or window. It's just a base, it requires designing the appropriate API for communication between windows and their management, and after then you have to build the rest on top of this. Why? Its really a showstopper for this otherwise great editor. The bindings (on Mac) I found with their screenshots: The keyboard shortcuts editor has a search which can find bindings on the keybinding name itself or the command name: When I switched to VSCode, I fell in love with it. Adding my request for this feature as well. Now imagine you you have an editor where you type in and you want to drag it out to produce a new window, you would expect that operation to be very fast and lightweight. Typical dev commenting on this issue: "All other IDEs with bad UI designed in 90s forced me to buy multiple screens to be productive at all, so this new IDE shouldn't try to fix problem differently but replicate same bad UI and support my multiple screens". I guess I can understand that. This is now in high demand for 2 (TWO!) The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. it seems so obvious as a feature, even in the most minimalistic editor. I want it to work exactly like the Chrome browser. The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. . I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. It's simple a case of MS wanting to integrate it with VS Code. Hover the icon to read status information, which may contain actions. You are receiving this because you commented. [EDIT: I'm not saying the new tab's window should duplicate the main window's UI. So getting back to topic: What can we do? I don't mind opening vscode to edit ~/.bash_profile because I don't have to wait for 4 minutes like I might with Visual Studio or WebStorm. To all the people who propose the workaround with 2 windows. The single most useful reason to have multiple windows is to debug across server (node) and client (Angular). This was the last thing they told me about it @Hypernut, https://twitter.com/TheLoveDuckie/status/916447993594859522. Any estimates when VS code could be capable to do this? :). "104 more votes to make it to the top 10" as of October 25, 2017. Just clutters up the stores, makes them harder to maintain. I'm sure this issue is on the team's radar (it is the number one requested feature). Any idea would be helpful! Read about the new features and fixes from November. Flake it till you make it: how to detect and deal with flaky tests (Ep. _(Most)_ of the people in this thread are not complaining "I want this." : The Backlog-Link (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/8) here in the right panel does not work?). privacy statement. Tearing off tabs into separate windows is __already possible__ , with some caveats/workarounds required. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. @TedYav That restriction has technical reasons behind it - see #2686 for more info & discussion. Windows that aren't docked cause you want a mess covering up your code cnoor0171 For example, if you have two monitors, you can have two windows with the same workspace. @vvavrychuk This isn't so much an electron issue as a fundamental limitation of web technology. The minimum contrast ratio feature can cause colors to not be displayed as expected. @algiuxass Same here. add hooks for all windows on the same project directory to signal and listen+react on a few UI events: editor tab selected (activity bar explorer updates to point to the file), editor tab closed (maybe just set explorer to "no tab selected", selecting last tab might be hard to coordinate), on vertical screen: IDE's main window with editor, toolbars and (eventually) vertical splitting, on laptop screen: project's file explorer / outline, terminal / test dashboard / debug dashboard, do the coding, or anything whatever I can do, Main workspace handles event, and shows my file where tests was failed. I want to be able to open files into a new window (for example to put on a different monitor or a different virtual workspace). I have been watching this issue for year + and still no movement on this. Dragging tabs outside the VS Code window currently copies the file (or a shortcut to it?) How tabs are presented can be configured with the following settings: The text on each tab is determined by the following settings: By default, the title displays what the shell's detected process name. It's soo easy to use and fast on my slow computer! Is there an estimation for when the top 3 features will have been implemented? I will continue to share support for this feature with thumbs up and rare constructive comments. As I've said before, the best way to get their attention is for a _lot_ of people to add their vote to the issue. I totally agree with you. An hour you ask the same question, and he replies, "there are a lot of turns needed to get there," and will say no more. This is a feature, not design choice. I hope that makes sense. I need to see all of them at once. These include box drawing characters (U+2500-U+257F), block elements (U+2580-U+259F) and a subset of Powerline symbols (U+E0B0-U+E0B7). macOS: Select the word under the cursor and show the context menu. Is there an estimation for when the top 3 features will have been implemented? 3.) I would love to see the ability to detach the console (and other parts of the editor) and push them across to a separate screen allowing me to get the full real estate of my main screen for writing and reading my code when I'm working somewhere with multiple screens/. I can't even have them side-by-side on the same screen as the debug console takes the full bottom of the window separate to the code editor. Sure you can disable those tools and stuff, but when working in a large team, it always happens someone commits vscode settings folder (even if it's gitignored - don't ask me how this happens). A workaround in the mean time is to open two windows, open a parent folder and a child folder of the same project. So this isn't something that is in the catagory of; "Oh, I never thought of that!". I know this is a opensource freeware, but this limitation may stop new users from using VS Code. Same as most people here : @bpasero by technical limitation do you say that it's a Electron limitation? I'm just trying to help set expectations based on my observations of their past behavior and when this feature first would have appeared on their "user demand is high" radar. If you can afford 4 monitors just for the increased productivity benefit, I assume that you can also afford spending some money on the development of such feature. At least it would be a start. Also there was some amount of discussion on Multi Window coding (original suggestion of Ctrl + K, O to open a new window), so I thought I would just clarify that part here for all the people looking for that feature. In real world we need see much more than only left/right/bottom panel, this solution https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-335013296 is great. You also demystified me as a random internet troll, well played, sir! That is user base frustrated because they lack multiple monitor support. @Aetherall and others, please read further up the thread. I use vscode to work on a large c# solution, specifically, 19644 c# files. Why vote it down just because you wouldn't use it? Hopefully this feature gets prioritized soon. Maximising exposure to information is what drives everything from multi-threading to pixel density and yes, even multi-screen & cross device applications. @jez9999 Yes I understand that, as I understand also that it's not a simple feature to add and maintain in the future. Runtime profiling for .NET, SQL Server tools, a massive test management system, Azure tools (MSs cloud), built-in task/PR/issue tracking to recall a few off the top of my head. But for me ergonomically very uncomfortable and tiring to a degree that makes me leaving it be again. 87 7. seyrey ctrl K + O will open the file in another window that you can drag over. Would it not be better to build it in now, when the overall system is relatively simpler ? That means we're realizing a flaw to GitHub's reaction system. (To vote, add a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment. Thought everyone would be glad to know -- this feature request just made it to #4 by upvotes. An easier solution to implement (?) no feature or workflow requires that you use them), so I don't see how it's a bad UX choice, even from the viewpoint of folks who don't want to use them. It looks like wanting this feature correlate with not having ability to use GH correctly nor behaving well in the internet discussion. Would an acceptable way of allowing usage of multiple windows to store those windows in the workspace configuration? I just want to voice my opinion on this.
