For example: If you wanted to open a project folder in VSCode, its easy with the command prompt. There are multiple pages of github issues requesting this feature. @bpasero Sorry for n00b question: could nativeWindowOpen help to solve the problem? Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. Anyway, I have 2 monitors and I still consider to buy the third one. You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. I would say most of people here misses the point: VS code is not an IDE it's an code editor. It's expensive, it will make application maintenance harder, it will prevent users focusing code. So Vote for feature . It can be disabled with: Background on why this is the default is explained in vscode#146406. In this article, you will learn about how to create a file with any file type extension in vs code using a terminal with commands. This feature request recently celebrated it's second birthday. Don't double post please. 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. @iansan5653 that's my case: To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut to toggle the terminal panel.

Thanks @RoyTinker. If you're going to run the debugging inside VS Code, you probably want the Output window to be on one monitor and the code on another rather than cramming it all onto one monitor. "terminal.integrated.tabs.enableAnimation", "terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio", Configure IntelliSense for cross-compiling, renders some of the Powerline symbols without needing to configure a font, Canvas renderer - GPU acceleration by using the. Tearing off tabs into separate windows is __already possible__ , with some caveats/workarounds required. Required, not a nice-to-have for people with multiple monitors (tabs). Request: Please close this issue for comments. This helps the terminal work faster and display at a high FPS by significantly reducing the time the CPU spends rendering each frame. Use "Ctrl K, O" to open the current file in a different vscode window for editing. I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. to your account. There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. I totally agree with you. Would love to have this feature as well. Do commentaries as votes help? Well occasionally send you account related emails. @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. We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. r/programming Hi r/programming. Wouldn't it be possible to launch a new window, and do communication between the parent window and the child via the webContents API? @bpasero @aeschli is this a feature that you'd like to get and review as a pull request?

As a result of this issue, I have moved on to contributing to Language Server Protocol support in Eclipse instead. As is, I keep installing VS code, loving almost everything and eventually uninstalling when I realize the UX still hasn't been updated. At this point, it is the missing feature that is keeping me from using VS Code full time. Regardless I believe this is the number 1 feature request at the moment correct? Please guys, do it! 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. I just know about it, since that is one of the main reasons why React v16 portals are so useful.. might be to allow a new window (CTRL+SHIFT+N) to open the SAME project (this currently isn't allowed). Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. The amount of scrollback kept is determined by the terminal.integrated.scrollback setting and defaults to 1000 lines. Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. I don't think the VSCode API allows something like this. 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. Configure your default profile by running the Terminal: Select Default Profile command, which is also accessible via the new terminal dropdown. @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac. That would require the VSCode team to publicly discuss a plan for implementing this highly requested functionality. Before that, nobody wanted or even knew about floating windows. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. I hope we can quit discussing what obligations this tool has to implement certain features. To learn more, see our tips on writing great answers. I think this issue should be frozen / restricted until someone can actually work on it (from VSCode team). It's a bad idea to have multiple monitor support. Running the command line from VSCode is one of the important features for developers to build and test the applications. @zewa666 yes it's free and awesome, I'm thankful about that. Multiple terminals can be placed side-by-side are called a group and are created by splitting a terminal: Tip: The working directory for the new terminal depends on the terminal.integrated.splitCwd setting.

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. Sometimes silence is worse than a negative answer. That seems like a quick way to get this topic locked. Terminal Basics Visual Studio Code includes a full featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. The first thing to try is to disable GPU acceleration, trading off rendering speed for DOM-based rendering, which is more reliable: See the GPU acceleration section for more information. @mlewand depends, if I could open a lightweight window that shares the same JavaScript context and build some UI in it, that would certainly help. years. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. It's expensive, it will make application maintenance harder, it will prevent users focusing code. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. Multiple monitors are still _really_ helpful because they increase available screen real estate. This is done by configuring your shell outside VS Code, typically by modifying the $PS1 variable, setting a $PROMPT_COMMAND or installing a plugin. So i don't like see output info on my code tad. That's easy part. I am surprised to see that this still hasn't been added.

Oddly I've actually been enjoying this behaviour - useful for referencing from the same document just like when creating a new tile. See the attached gif below. 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. We're developers, a lot of us would understand a technical reason. Wouldn't it be better to just open a new terminal process outside of VSCode? @CHN-STUDENT I think people are giving :-1: votes because they agree that we need it (this thread has 270 comments and is the most :+1: voted issue). Once your terminal is open, you can open VS Code from it by typing $ code . But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. Thanks! _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. This would really be super useful for multi-monitor productivity. Perhaps bade it upon that? VSCode is a complex program, they cannot patch functionnalities on the core, or it would became a nightmare to maintain and improve ( just clone the repo to see what the hell is happening inside the beast ), My guesses (I may be wrong): Then comes the chaos. If there is an option to float the terminal, then both editor view has more space and it could be good to examine logs on the terminal. Perhaps people voting on this should go check that one out! This is typically caused by driver/VM graphics issues and the same also happens in Chromium. 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.

But a bit of a warning: keep in mind vscode is mainly a text editor! Folder links: These are similar to file links but will open a new VS Code window at the folder. Sorry! I am sure the demand suddenly came into existence "last December". It seems electron supports frameless windows, couldn't this solve the problem by just creating a frameless window when a user drags there file outward like on Visual Studio? If this feature gets implemented, you don't have to have multiple monitors to use VS Code. 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? 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. To be helpful -- what would be useful to me is not just being able to open files on multiple screens, but being able to dock any kind of panel anywhere in the IDE (including popping them out to new windows which can be moved to new screens). 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. I think all it would need is a tab bar (for multiple code editor tabs) and the tab content.]. It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. I'm confident this is the design decision behind it but I'd be interesting to know otherwise. 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. Having it all crammed in a single space is really irritating. I don't see a value to dramatically increase complexity if the same functionality can be achieved by spawning a new process. Dont forget we have VisualStudio Community, please consider to move some feature to VS plugin. ((socket-guid)) --root-window ((root-window-guid)). Back on track now Just my 2 cents @bpasero Can't the fact that every window is in its own process be treated as an issue of electron?
