The same functionality can't be achieved by spawning a new process, because, AIUI, for languages that have LSP-based tooling, the two processes could not both talk to the same language server, so you'd only have the LSP-based features in one of them. Possible better focus IMO, fixing word pattern selection and renaming selection, adding drag & drop support into panels, etc Also, most of the OS don't support a proper tiling system for you windows so yeah have fun managing each ones @MangelMaxime You do realize that new windows would be optional? Following this thread for long time and still not having it late march 2018 (almost 2 years) is such a pitty. Condescending tone does not fix bugs. They probably want to implement a functionality to maximum performance/RAM usage ratio but it's very complex because of their custom build of Electron and complex core. This will add scroll bars when necessary, which may lead to an unpleasant UX and is generally not recommended, but it is a common ask on Windows in particular for reading logs or long lines when paging tools aren't available. What is the best way to show one file (with unit test) on the left monitor and the second file on the right monitor? Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. For example, I write research papers in VS-Code. This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes: I fully agree that it would be a great feature, but really guys give the nice folks from vscode some rest. When dragging a tab outside of the window, it either displays a and doesn't let me drop, or, when dropped on top of a Windows Explorer window, it copies the file @CherryDT This issue is still open and marked as Backlog. 'No estimates' is also an answer. I hope that makes sense. I would say most of people here misses the point: VS code is not an IDE it's an code editor. Their implementation isn't suitable to VScode's architecture, is that it? This is a feature, not design choice. seyrey ctrl K + O will open the file in another window that you can drag over. I don't know any developer who only codes on one monitor, and having the ability to drag a tab to a new window for side-by-side use is just too useful of a feature to not have.

Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. Dont forget we have VisualStudio Community, please consider to move some feature to VS plugin. From here, you can type "terminal". I'd rather the Visual Studio (proper) team become better at supporting client-side application development/debugging. I'm a bit disappointed that it was never a design consideration from the One more vote. I am sure the demand suddenly came into existence "last December". When that mode is enabled, the shell is indicating that it can handle multiple line pasting. I'm starting to need this more as the projects get bigger. Well occasionally send you account related emails. Tearing off tabs into separate windows is __already possible__ , with some caveats/workarounds required. Allow debug-actions-widget position adjustable and configurable. Im trying to make a VSCode extension and is it possible to create a small window on top of the main window? It's essentially a new instance of VSCode in same workspace. 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. Separating windows to different monitors is a basic requirement in this case. @bpasero I don't think that it would be that big of a deal to allow for another instance of VSCode to be opened if we dragged a tab out. However, I would settle for any ability to quickly move/open something in a new window, such as a right-click menu option. 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?).

I hit this limitation a couple of times a day, it's a pretty big missing feature for me. But that is my perspective. You could then open any tabs you need in this new window, or if you just want to have the debug console here you can maximise it to fill the window. Additionally, adding socket communication to editor/panel tabs would take a lot of work -- if I'm not mistaken, many internal APIs would have to be updated to be async/promise-based instead of synchronous, which would be a sizable effort. 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.

How to create a floating window in VSCode extension? 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 The minimum contrast ratio feature solves this problem by either increasing or reducing the luminance of the text's foreground color until a 4.5:1 contrast ratio is met. By default, the shell integration script should automatically activate on supported shells launched from VS Code. Do you have a reference that says it is supposed to be implemented in 1.11?

Obviously you can work around it by opening specific files in a separate (ctrl + shift + N) Visual Studio Code instance, but it's definitely something that should be addressed as soon as possible. But, dont know recently why its not working +1. By default there is a warning when pasting multiple lines, which can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.enableMultiLinePasteWarning setting. 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. Yeah, I'd say this feature falls firmly in the "Happy coding" category. Any help is appreciated. I think 8 months are more than enough time to at least give us a hint on what to expect. That said, this is ONE of the big reasons I can't use VSCode for debugging. You've paid nothing for it. In every IntelliJ product, every view has a cog icon which has following options: Without this feature, developers get in the following cycle which takes at least 20% of developer's time! Besides, it's not always the code you keep watching. ;-).

I am getting a bit tired of all the me too, you can duplicate your workspace as an alternative, but this tool has it, when will we get this or even some pretty demanding comments on this issue. It also means I don't have to babysit the window management as much as I don't have to remember which is the "real" project window. Unfortunately it does not close the older tab which is expected for the floating window idea. However, its tedious and - sometimes - can lead to problems having multiple instances of the project open at the same time (those instances do not communicate with each other directly). Is it not deemed worthy enough as VSCode cannot be monetized ? Each extended window that is created is assigned a root window id, and the Basicaly, it creates base64 encoded string as URL for window: https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow/blob/master/src/index.js#L76 on load.

But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. This is the most wanted feature ever :dancer: I'm working with 3 monitors, and I need to have this feature, because sometimes in the code I need to see what functions that I need to implement from one file, and I need to open this in a separate window to copy paste what I want instead of splitting the window inside one monitor that can limit the work space area. Similar to how dragging a tab right now lets you title the main view. Seems a new feature has been added to serve as a Work Around for this. "You can't read several file at one and keep focus" To all the people who propose the workaround with 2 windows. 2 years since it was requested.

It would be really nice to see support for multiple screens or floating windows. Alternatively you can take your zero dollars and spend it elsewhere. (BTW. Not sure if anyone has seen this project for electron, but I'm just going to leave this here. Chiming with a motion to undock, especially the watch window. If we stuck by architectural limitation that cost too much to make it happen, Why not just close it and going forward. So yeah here's one more developer wishing I could detach tabs out of VSCode just like work with VS. ==> Boom: Workspace is now multi-monitor. Please guys, do it! It also means I don't have to babysit the window management as much as I don't have to remember which is the "real" project window. In fact, it's the only feature that stops me using VS Code exclusively. The terminal.integrated.defaultLocation setting can change the default terminal location to be in either the view or editor areas. Work around these issues by launching code with the --disable-gpu flag or by using the setting "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off" to avoid using the canvas in the terminal. But we're not about to just grab the wheel and drive ourselves, it's not our taxi. @Nepoxx You could always open a new issue with a title something like "Technical discussion for floating in-process windows" and link to this issue. Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list.
