It needs to be implemented. Specifically editor tabs. 400+ upvotes. This issue really only rose to prominence in the last 3 months or so. Hope we will get this eventually, this is a must have :). Request: Please close this issue for comments. Watch task should execute automatically on workspace open, Explorer / search / debug / git / extensions, Developing against non-MS runtimes/platforms, Open your project folder or workspace (if not open already), (if the sidebar is visible) With the new window selected, click View > Toggle Side Bar, (if the activity bar is visible) With the new window selected, click View > Hide Activity Bar, each piece (editor, panel, view) of the workbench needs to be runnable in a separate browser window, which means that each piece needs to be fully self-contained, the master window needs to basically multi-plex its workbench layout to multiple windows (e.g. We are looking for the ability to pop out a window and move it where we want, basically like premire pro does with the different pallets sort of thing, Just my 2 cents Your idea of a proper UI for +1'ing a feature request / "I have this problem!" You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. This is a feature, not design choice. @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). Sometimes you watch the output or enter some commands in terminal. @belst It still does allow multiple windows on the same workspace, which is an improvement on VS Code. 2 comments neatbot on Jun 7, 2017 VSCode Version: 1.12.2 OS Version: Win. https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager, @s952163 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. CaptAmari 1 yr. ago The default icon and its color, which will be used if not defined in a profile, can be configured with the terminal.integrated.tabs.defaultIcon and terminal.integrated.tabs.defaultColor settings. Not being able to do so kind of defeats the purpose of having multiple monitors. In fact, it's the only feature that stops me using VS Code exclusively. That's why it is my default for a small screen (i.e. This will temporarily hide the editors and maximize the panel. and pass through some parameters. I'm honestly tired of trying to get some communication from the vscode team. Well occasionally send you account related emails. _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. ;-). (Basically Dog-people), How to see the number of layers currently selected in QGIS. Tearing the tab out is the behavior I want (the same way it works in Chrome browser). Terminal in the editor area, also known as terminal editors, can be created through the Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area and Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area to the Side commands or by dragging a terminal from the terminal view into the editor area. @RoyTinker Benjamin Pasero has responded several times. . How? To be honest though, the only thing I really want to be able to do is drag code editor tabs out. The default terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration value of "auto" tries the WebGL, canvas, and DOM renderers sequentially, settling at the first without detected issues. Thumbs up are always preferred over the popular method of +1. @jayarjo I've been doing something similar by opening a new vscode window and dragging my tab in there. https://twitter.com/joaomoreno/status/1004303587755855872?s=19. YES! "You can currently see 3 files, one vertical panel (debugger, git, search, explorer) and horizontal panel at the same time", nice try, but you know what I mean, I mean a maximized window with a CSS file in one monitor and a maximized window with HTML in another one that's far better than having a lot of uncomfortably panels in the same monitor. @benm-eras I'm aware of that but it seems as though there is support for that functionality already. frustrated? As is, I keep installing VS code, loving almost everything and eventually uninstalling when I realize the UX still hasn't been updated. Add a reaction to the original post and that'll be enough, no need to comment out the dreaded +1 comment. Why does secondary surveillance radar use a different antenna design than primary radar? I do know you do not speak for the VSC-Team. You signed in with another tab or window. 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. First, open up your terminal. Wish GitHub would make it more obvious with a +1 button at every post than the +[Emoji]. Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. The terminal tabs UI is on the right side of the terminal view. Or just thumbs up main post enough? @tavuntu The problem with commenting simply with +1 makes useless clutter and spams people who watches this issue with a useless notification. If I don't like bread, no one should eat it! I don't see a value to dramatically increase complexity if the same functionality can be achieved by spawning a new process. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux on your Windows 10 machine. How is it supposed to work? I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). Why is this still not a thing ! That status update is enough for me. I too used to love to rip tabs and windows out from Visual Studio; I'm on a Mac now and using VSCode. EDIT: Comment link here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-339404507 I give up. No no don't you run away when you are proven wrong! I'm trying to move off JetBeans and this isn't an optional or nice-to-have feature. Word links are considered "low confidence" and will not show an underline or tooltip unless Ctrl/Cmd is held. Would love to have this feature as well. I was not aware of that yet and I am going to use this next week on a multi-monitor system to see how well that works. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and 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. +1. 'No estimates' is also an answer. I think this issue should be frozen / restricted until someone can actually work on it (from VSCode team). If you can click-resize-read several files, then you can surely read several files without, clicking and resizing first. Movable tabs/panels outside the main window (with the possibility of sticking to the main window) is the core function of every real editor, especially with the current large 4k screens and multi-monitor sets (in case of professional programmers). This should be done at the beginning, when you start writing this editor. It would be really nice to see support for multiple screens or floating windows. I can't stand integrated "search" panel, because it is always huge and wide. This action creates another entry in the tab list associated with that terminal. @hosaka Correct, although I didn't intend any sarcasm in my comment there. Mindless +1 spam will definitely help your cause. At least it would be a start. The experience has been close to Visual Studio and the extension Python Tools for Visual Studio, but still missing some of the nice to haves. 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. If the feature is built in now. But I also think, maybe, it not a easy work for vscode developers. I often use WebStorm (which has such feature). They will get back to us when there is a further update. This is the last thing stopping me from fully switching to VSCode. This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes: :). 3.) I think about great deal of developers have more than one monitor and using them effectively is a big win for productivity. Avoiding alpha gaming when not alpha gaming gets PCs into trouble. @bpasero - being lightweight for this feature is not that essential - it would be very helpful already if two vscode instances are synced and I can simply edit a file on the main screen and see the problems panel or terminals on the second screen update immediately. To make it clear, open a file in one workspace and open the same file in the duplicated workspace. The terminal.integrated.cwd setting allows specifying a custom path to open instead: Split terminals on Windows will start in the directory that the parent terminal started with. Dear community, let's try to help VSC team. Multi Monitor support is by far not the only reason for wanting this feature. By default there is a warning when pasting multiple lines, which can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.enableMultiLinePasteWarning setting. All I can see is bunch of folks happy to +1 some random feature with huge design implications (and bunch of hate for anyone having different opinion). The silence is odd for an open source project, but unfortunately typical for a company like Microsoft. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md, @Trevinlc1997 @WNemencha I'm assuming the team doesn't want any unnecessary dependencies. 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. It would be very useful if I write the code/text in one screen, and get the preview (still within VSCode) in an external monitor (or, a second screen). If you really want VSCode featured in multiple windows, why not try to fork and make it possible by yourself? Countless other software have done this, are doing it and will continue doing it so I'm not entirely sure what is actually stopping them from implementing one of the most requested features. 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. Please do not try to recomend to use Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio Enerprise, Sharp Develop, Eclipse, Jetbrains or may be Notepad. I must see only code. To use Ctrl+A to select all, add this custom keybinding: Dragging a file into the terminal will input the path into the terminal, with escaping to match the active shell. Any idea would be helpful! Any estimates when VS code could be capable to do this? I am getting by using a larger 4k monitor in my home office but at my work office desk where I use 4 smaller monitors this is a slowdown. 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 recently, started using JetBrains tools as an alternative. This is an OSS. +1. Quite often with the full Visual Studio I'd drag out a tab to my other monitor so that I could view two code files at once. This is done by configuring your shell outside VS Code, typically by modifying the $PS1 variable, setting a $PROMPT_COMMAND or installing a plugin. In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. I don't see any reasonable discussion around possible implications of the different ways of implementing such feature. Output_ What is the best way to show one file (with unit test) on the left monitor and the second file on the right monitor? Anyway, I'm out. All you gave people was your claim, and they gave theirs. I do not care if it's lightweight either. Please the issue to show your support. Right now I have to open a new VSCode and manually reopen the file. That seems like a quick way to get this topic locked. On Fri, Dec 1, 2017 at 9:39 PM, Roy Tinker notifications@github.com wrote: @Rouche https://github.com/rouche VSCode is implemented in Electron, I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. 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. This requires a bit of rearchitecting the internals of vscode, so let's be patient (or contribute). What you should not do is whine and try to guilt trip the great team behind VS Code into feeling bad. Sign in This seems to share the context / workspace across windows and solves the basic multi-monitor issue. See also our issue reporting guidelines. @Deltatiger 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. @Nepoxx You are here just to give thumbs down opinions and comments from people. This would really be super useful for multi-monitor productivity. By that measure, VSCode is just an editor, despite built-in debugging/etc. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. Some developers use VS Code as a standalone terminal by opening a new window, maximizing the panel, and hiding the side bar. Thought everyone would be glad to know -- this feature request just made it to #4 by upvotes. We made it! 2.) I know It's not the same as drag and drop but it should come in handy if you just need to move a few file to another window to make use of the second or third monitor. Otherwise it is an absolute pleasure to work with, and far superior to Sublime and others (in my opinion). Why is sending so few tanks Ukraine considered significant? Some features have taken 2 years from when they reached prominence to when they shipped. Perhaps bade it upon that? I want it to work exactly like the Chrome browser. Op 5 okt. Maybe MS could help out, in their copious amounts of time :). Would be a great first step to make that detachable. Multiple monitors are still _really_ helpful because they increase available screen real estate. Extensions can contribute link providers which allow the extension to define what happens when clicked. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Just adding my support to this. And surprisingly the next most wanted features are very related :+1: Right now, I'm using vscode 1.22.0 with multiples monitors and the shortcut CTRL+k o to open a tab in a new window. This is important when referencing code, but also for things like Markdown Preview. There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. I know that it is OSS. The workaround (open new window and drag and drop your file from the current workspace/window to the newly opened one) is OK but I have no access to the workspace itself; different settings, no access to other files in the workspace, etc. The main benefit of this feature is opening terminal/output/problems on another monitor, so you can have a list of errors separately from the code 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. But detachable debug would be really good. Please implement this feature to float the windows (window detaching). this is the ONE thing about it that i really don't like. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. I am not sure why the delay? 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. This opens spotlight search. It is really time consuming to click and resize a window to see the content. There's no such thing as a "main" window in Xcode. This is what I'd like -- just like popping out a Chrome tab. edited: If you want to do that to run VSCode Tasks then I think open another VSCode window is the only way. Terminal selection can be forced by holding the Alt key on Windows and Linux, this can also be done with the Option key on macOS but requires enabling the terminal.integrated.macOptionClickForcesSelection setting first. He then parks the car. Request: Please close this issue for comments. https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11398. 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. To get this behavior in VS Code, add this custom keybinding: One of our accessibility features we enable by default is to ensure a minimum contrast ratio of at least 4.5 is met for the foreground text. @Blackbaud-DustinLunsford thanks for a simple workaround, @n9 I think the communication between both windows is solvable but the other issues remain that I stated, specifically the fact that each window has its own DOM and that all our services need to talk to the same backend from every window. See @D1no's illustration above (click to scroll up). I think all it would need is a tab bar (for multiple code editor tabs) and the tab content.]. Debug console And later select needed window by Cmd+~ for example or seen results on another screen. First of all - Electron supports multiple windows. :sweat_smile: ^^ https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc. The keybindings for copy and paste follow platform standards: Copying is done automatically on selection when terminal.integrated.copyOnSelection is enabled. for issues would be great! "You can't read several file at one and keep focus" Well if I could work on my SPA efficiently and my web api backend in Visual Studio I wouldn't need VS Code either. Currently I'm developing a game where you can practice and apply your programming skills to automate all kinds of machinery in challenging environments. However, I would settle for any ability to quickly move/open something in a new window, such as a right-click menu option. This is why I will stick to IntelliJ until this feature comes up to VS code. I suggest floating windows option for: Terminal; Debug console; Problems; Output; Eventually: tabs; Explorer / search / debug / git / extensions; This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. This feature can be configured or disabled to get the original colors with: The terminal features three different renderers, each of which have different trade offs: GPU acceleration driven by the WebGL renderer is enabled in the terminal by default. Very disappointed to find this feature isn't supported. I am struggling to debug a large project despite working on three displays -- I can only have the debug console and the code that I'm stepping through on the one screen. This automatic injection can be disabled by setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false. or "Do it because I'm too lazy to do it myself." Open your project folder 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. See the attached gif below. The Tasks feature can be used to automate the launching of terminals, for example, the following .vscode/tasks.json file will launch a Command Prompt and PowerShell terminal in a single terminal group when the window starts: This file could be committed to the repository to share with other developers or created as a user task via the workbench.action.tasks.openUserTasks command. Or maybe it's already possible using Cmd-K o? no status bar, no activity bar, only editor tabs), allow extensions to register interest/disinterest in "editor-only" windows, add (internal) API option to open a file in an editor tab with a specified (unsaved) buffer on a newly created window. https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-334327742, https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AD90FFy4E1Ra3EKfLfwh026vvezYp9FJks5spCT2gaJpZM4JckZO, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request, https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3527695/31317649-71a530b2-ac4d-11e7-9531-6fe2d4a2e967.gif, https://gearburn.com/2016/06/space-vr-app-turns-the-htc-vive-oculus-rift-into-a-productivity-hub/, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-16/how-working-in-vr-could-make-you-more-productive, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/24/andreessen-horowitz-london-virtual-reality-startup-improbable, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/2686#issuecomment, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Roadmap, https://hackernoon.com/using-a-react-16-portal-to-do-something-cool-2a2d627b0202, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-348621220, https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAqQmoLrUY4l5H5xwroWCytBbgT2LIL_ks5s8HIqgaJpZM4JckZO. Condescending tone does not fix bugs. Still waiting for this after I switched to Code from Visual Studio :( For now, my only solution is to minimize the application and stretch it manually to fit my monitors. 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. Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". But let's stick to giving unrelated examples, accusing others of being hipsters coding on top of trees or whatever makes you guys feel better. Because a new windows, probably mean VSCode provider need to support it because the context isn't as simple with one window etc. Especially for things like the terminal, sidebar, etc. I'm glad I'm not alone. 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. To use terminals in the editor area, there are several options: Create via the Create Terminal in Editor Area command. I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. Yehya Abouelnaga notifications@github.com schrieb am Fr., 8. So, i will be miracle if user can move terminal/output/tab to another monitor, or do this window floating. @JustinAddams That what I am doing right now, Also would be nice to have adjusted view configuration for duplicated workspace view. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request. This is the last piece we are missing as others have said from a full move from other editors. 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/. 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. macOS: Select the word under the cursor and show the context menu. So this isn't something that is in the catagory of; "Oh, I never thought of that!". That means we're realizing a flaw to GitHub's reaction system. @BentOnCoding I agree that the lack of this feature is incomprehensible, but as you said they chose a framework that is not completely suitable to building IDEs, so adding this feature would be a major effort and it looks like they are not willing to make it. Below PowerShell and WSL terminals are stacked in an editor group to the right of a group of file editors. I don't see a value to dramatically increase complexity if the same functionality can be achieved by spawning a new process. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Happy coding! Hope this helps until we have something better come along. Running duplicate language services and language servers can create racing conditions and heavy HDD/SSD usage with accessing same files, especially with tools that use project wide analysis. I just want to be able to move the terminal and debug console to where ever it bugs me the least. 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? +1. As a simple workaround you can use the command Duplicate Workspace in New Window (since version 1.24) to open the current folder/workspace in a second VS code window that can be moved to a separate monitor. Chrome has a model where each window get's its own isolated context, e.g. To the VS code team, please never "fix" this bug (unless you add multi-window support ofc). Thanks. The last time I downloaded it was a couple of months ago and it's size was about 7 or 8 GB back then. That doesn't mean that I'm not extremely irritated that this feature isn't even on the radar. The amount of scrollback kept is determined by the terminal.integrated.scrollback setting and defaults to 1000 lines. 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. Having the option to open the two versions in two windows would be a real saver. 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. ==> Boom: Workspace is now multi-monitor.
