It's too huge of an issue for any one individual to create some massive PR implementing the _even most basic functionality_after all, every file dealing with references to the window or process space would require updates if not being thrown out and rewritten. Request: Please close this issue for comments. +1. Please do not try to recomend to use Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio Enerprise, Sharp Develop, Eclipse, Jetbrains or may be Notepad. If VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! The "app" is an OS-specific container that instantiates/orchestrates these processes. They will get back to us when there is a further update. Like others have said, opening in a new window isn't what were asking for or wanting. 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. This works pretty nice for me :sweat_smile: Which means what exactly? I strongly support the request of this feature. But hey, macOS Touch Bar support is there. 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. But why do you feel the need to "set expectations"? They have to create a new windows each time you drag a tab into it's own window, and obviously this isn't an easy thing to do. Otherwise it is an absolute pleasure to work with, and far superior to Sublime and others (in my opinion). Just clutters up the stores, makes them harder to maintain. It's a bad idea to have multiple monitor support. Op 9 jan. 2018 3:15 a.m. schreef Roy Tinker notifications@github.com: @scriptcoded yeah it's really hard to achieve feature at this moment. Sometimes this detection doesn't work and requires manual intervention, setting terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration to "dom" typically resolves rendering-related problems like these at the cost of performance. 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. Sounds great? See the GPU acceleration section for more information. Basicaly, it creates base64 encoded string as URL for window: https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow/blob/master/src/index.js#L76 on load. No Im going to use it as a preview panel :). Trolling / name calling / arguing gets us nowhere. @mlewand this is no area where we expect a PR due to technical limitations. For example, "'Fira Code', monospace" will configure Fira Code as the primary font and monospace as the fallback when it lacks glyphs. (BTW. Can't drag tab out of workspace to move to new window, floting panels; undock panels and move them around, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/8, Navigate through explorer by typing start of file/folder name, Add option to launch and debug external powershell.exe, Can't create new window by dragging a tab out of current window, Multi-file search results are very hard to skim and use, Explorer / search / debug / git / extensions. Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. That means we're realizing a flaw to GitHub's reaction system. It really aids productivity and for that single reason I still use WS instead of VSC. I was just trying to help with a temporary workaround that I use while waiting for this feature. I have 3 monitors and I usually work with 2 files at the same time @steinhh That is nice, but it is not at all what is being described in the OP. Is it because no devs are currently enlisted to work on VSCode ? 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. (electron = chromium + APIs to access underlying OS features), What if you could init vscode in some mode, "extension mode", for example, (). "Ctrl + K then O" @laserbeak I think the complications arise from having to handle window management across several operating systems. Powerline fonts typically end in " for Powerline", the following setting is an example of how to configure a DejaVu Sans Mono that has been patched: Nerd Fonts work the same and typically have a " NF" suffix, the following is an example of how to configure Hack's nerd fonts variant: The terminal cursor style and whether it blinks can be customized with the following settings: Terminal tabs appear on the right of the terminal view when there are two or more terminals by default, showing the active terminal in the view header when there is only one. I don't think the VSCode API allows something like this. _(Most)_ of the people in this thread are not complaining "I want this." Only 68 more votes and this will be in the top 5 feature requests. I want to have my Angular files in one window, my node files in another, and the Terminal in another full screen so I can see the output of what's going on. Yet you don't have an offline uninstaller for an 8GB installer! Separating windows to different monitors is a basic requirement in this case. -- My typical setup has me opening code files on the first two of my screens, and having a control panel of all the useful "status" panels docked on the third screen. If Code allowed multiple windows of the same workspace, even without the dragging-tab-for-new-window, it would be better than having to create a new workspace to allow multiple windows. What about https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager ?? @michaljaros84 The fact that VS Code isn't intended to be an IDE like Visual Studio doesn't at all preclude UX enhancements like floating in-process windows. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. Add a reaction to the original post and that'll be enough, no need to comment out the dreaded +1 comment. Dragging and dropping tabs in the list will rearrange them. This thread was open 1 Year 6 Months and 4 Days ago . Edit: By bad, bpasero answered the thread a year ago, let's just hope the team will take this issue as the reference issue for the Explore UX for flexible workbench layout plan item on February 2018 iteration plan ! I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a must have rather than eventually type of task. It's expensive, it will make application maintenance harder, it will prevent users focusing code. I can see no progress on this feature and few years past. I am not sure why the delay? Folder links: These are similar to file links but will open a new VS Code window at the folder. Split code into one screen is already enough and this kind of decision imply a lot of design implication for the User experience. One of the reason i still use Eclipse over VS code. Please first point to a study showing that not having multiple monitor support improves productivity or rather is a better choice. If I don't like bread, no one should eat it! to your account. Navigate between terminal groups using focus next ] (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageDown) and focus previous [ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageUp). 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. If this is distracting the animation can be disabled with: When the terminal's bell is triggered, a yellow bell icon is briefly shown. I stated the same thing everyone else did in supporting this feature. For those who just want to open files in new windows and were lead to this page by Google, use the keyboard shortcut for "Open Active Files in New Window"; Sorry! There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. This is 3rd by thumbs up and is 2nd in number of comments. Same as most people here : Well occasionally send you account related emails. I have 2 monitors, an old PC s754 8GiB DDR2 and this lightweight engineering wouldnt benefit much my setup, neither newer more powerful machines. Looking through these comments, it seems I am not alone in this view. This will temporarily hide the editors and maximize the panel. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request. It feels insane to be stuck on just 1 monitor for code editing, especially when I'm working on several files simultaneously. It's essentially a new instance of VSCode in same workspace. Thanks! If you want to spend time helping on this issue, I suggest going to other places online where people who want this feature might end up (Stack Overflow, reddit, etc.) With a little luck, It could be a very simple change in the VSCode main window. However, I would settle for any ability to quickly move/open something in a new window, such as a right-click menu option. Also I doubt that this has anything to do with Electron (Not an electron side restriction / issue). This was already talked about in this very thread. Indefinite article before noun starting with "the", Two parallel diagonal lines on a Schengen passport stamp, Counting degrees of freedom in Lie algebra structure constants (aka why are there any nontrivial Lie algebras of dim >5?). Before that, nobody wanted or even knew about floating windows. Is it not deemed worthy enough as VSCode cannot be monetized ? I must see only code. this is the ONE thing about it that i really don't like. The basics of the terminal have been covered in this document. But for me ergonomically very uncomfortable and tiring to a degree that makes me leaving it be again. I hope this feature be the max priority. I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). The content in the terminal is called the buffer, with the section right above the bottom viewport being called "scrollback". It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. Implementing it at core can make all windows capable of frameless 'existence' like in Visual Studio 2015, 2017, WebStorm etc. If you really want VSCode featured in multiple windows, why not try to fork and make it possible by yourself? 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). But after using it for first 15 minutes I missed this function. 87 7. Webstorm/Phpstorm both have this feature, and it is really the main thing that I like about those apps. I'm thinking on changing from Sublime Text to VSC and this limitation is the only thing which keeps me using both of them, I'll certainly be more inclined to VSC once you guys add this! This issue is getting pretty heated, I think those of us that support it should raise awareness for it (tweet, recommend, discuss), so it can make it to the top 10 list of requests. Navigate between terminals in a group by focusing the previous pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Left), or the next pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Right). @tavuntu @Krzysztof-Cieslak I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. I doubt it'll ever get implemented :(. This action creates another entry in the tab list associated with that terminal. See also our issue reporting guidelines. I don't see any reasonable discussion around possible implications of the different ways of implementing such feature. Required, not a nice-to-have for people with multiple monitors (tabs). You are receiving this because you commented. Hover the icon to read status information, which may contain actions. It's possible to open additional BrowserWindow instance but it require HTML file on load. As a first solution it does not need to be 100% "detachable" windows. 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. This normally means that the program/shell running inside the terminal requested to turn on "bracketed paste mode" but something doesn't support it properly. I hope you'll aim for releasing this feature step by step and you won't sit on plans. I wait eagerly with every comment on this issue to hear a relevant update only to see more of the aforementioned comments. But a bit of a warning: keep in mind vscode is mainly a text editor! An easier solution to implement (?) As I understand it, the use case is to support multiple monitors better. The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. The default visibility is designed to save horizontal space, but may not be desirable. Would it not be better to build it in now, when the overall system is relatively simpler ? I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. I'm confident this is the design decision behind it but I'd be interesting to know otherwise. Will this be implemented anytime soon? @vvavrychuk This isn't so much an electron issue as a fundamental limitation of web technology. I'd like the floating/dock-able windows and the positions saved for the next load. versus if the feature is built in later, when code would have become more complex due to "required features". VS Code's terminal renders some of the Powerline symbols without needing to configure a font, but if more glyphs are desired, configure a Powerline font with the font family setting. My mistake. Visual Studio 2017 handles this quite well for dragging out tabs to become new windows so hopefully we see something like that in the near future. The keybindings for copy and paste follow platform standards: Copying is done automatically on selection when terminal.integrated.copyOnSelection is enabled. The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. These will open the system browser at that location. 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. By that measure, VSCode is just an editor, despite built-in debugging/etc. Or is it more about VSCode one project <-> one window design? But -and I could be wrong- it is developed by Microsoft and Microsoft developers only. Ideally I would like to have a split screen with 1-4 windows on the second screen open side by side to be able to glance over the problems panel and open terminals (e.g. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux on your Windows 10 machine. @bpasero by technical limitation do you say that it's a Electron limitation? Explorer / search / debug / git / extensions. 10 (creative edition) Hopefully this feature gets prioritized soon. Thumbs up are always preferred over the popular method of +1. years. might be to allow a new window (CTRL+SHIFT+N) to open the SAME project (this currently isn't allowed). @bpasero Sorry for n00b question: could nativeWindowOpen help to solve the problem? to your account. Icons may appear to the right of the terminal title on the tab label when a terminal's status changes. Support Dragging VSCode Document Tabs, Tool and Extension Windows out of an IDE instance across multiple workspaces/monitors. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. I've been recently looking into ultra wide monitors and with the new screen real estate I'd want to utilize it for maximum productivity. @Penagwin Likewise, but given I don't know what the technical reasoning is for not being able to implement it, I am also going to be polite and reserve judgement and wait patiently like everyone else. Isn't it an unnecessary overhead to have multiprocessing for each window for such framework as electron? instantiates/orchestrates these processes. 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. :) It's like putting a note on your bathroom mirror. Not having it is a deal breaker. Since it came out, Code hasn't had multi-monitor support, and I assumed that choice was made intentionally. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. However, I still don't see in this whole thread one link to the research, study, paper showing productivity gain of using multiple screens for text editing. Since it's critical to change core code on that level. : The Backlog-Link (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/8) here in the right panel does not work?). 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. Which it is not. Like others have said, opening in a new window isn't what were asking for or wanting. Thanks for the reply. It should be draggable up and down around the left corner. That seems like a quick way to get this topic locked. I will have to agree with the comments above. All windows where you can navigate your project or edit code are equal. This approach would be greatly appreciated in VS Code. I'm trying to help with that using data from the past.
