+1. 1. 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. But I also think, maybe, it not a easy work for vscode developers. The last time I downloaded it was a couple of months ago and it's size was about 7 or 8 GB back then. Note: Open an external terminal with the C (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+C) keyboard shortcut if you prefer to work outside VS Code. _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. Hey, yes that is a known workaround (like opening the project multiple times) and is stated above somewhere in the comments. This feature ensures that text is readable regardless of the shell and theme used which is not possible otherwise. Will this be implemented anytime soon? Vscode is awesome and it will be more awesome with this fonctionality! Don't forget to accept my answer if it was helpful for you. . By leaving a , and keeping the discussion area clear for constructive discussion, such as: I quite like the implementation that VS had, where on dragging any part of the UI it could "snap" to part of the screen. We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. This would really be super useful for multi-monitor productivity. 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. What an absurd discussion tell me if I am correct. @Nepoxx You are here just to give thumbs down opinions and comments from people. rather fundamental (large) at this point. to your account. As I understand it, the use case is to support multiple monitors better. Any chance since MS owns github and essentially the electron project this will actually see the light of day? 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. Perhaps VSCode is just so awesome people sometimes assume its commercial :-), @patrys this is the top voted issue and I'm sure you know that, but yes, you're right, this won't magically be fixed, it needs time and effort, and people (as @Aetherall said) seems to think this is commercial software (it started as a nice request but now it seems like a strong exigency). (To vote, add a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment. Please the issue to show your support. So yeah here's one more developer wishing I could detach tabs out of VSCode just like work with VS. when an editor tab is dragged outside the app: create a new window without activity & status bar, with the file and its current (unsaved) buffer (if applicable), close the editor tab in the original window. 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. See @D1no's illustration above (click to scroll up). https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager, @s952163 Separating windows to different monitors is a basic requirement in this case. You can help and contribute your skills to VSCode. +1 for me. I want it to spawn a new copy of VSCode. 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. Dont forget we have VisualStudio Community, please consider to move some feature to VS plugin. Notice how there are no gaps between cells thanks to the custom glyphs: This feature can be disabled by setting "terminal.integrated.customGlyphs": false. This approach means multiple monitors are easily supported. It needs 104 more votes to make it into the top 10. Basicaly, it creates base64 encoded string as URL for window: https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow/blob/master/src/index.js#L76 on load. VSCode is used by people who CODE. 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. So can Ctrl-Click on one monitor, and see corresponding code on another. This behavior can be changed using the terminal.integrated.splitCwd setting: There are also extensions available that give more options such as Terminal Here. I've attached below a typical example of what my third screen looks like (in hopes that it helps) -- apologies for the obfuscated text: By the way, I was under the impression that most of the panel docking stuff that Visual Studio does was built-in to .NET, is it really that difficult to implement this? I know that it is OSS. Thumbs up are always preferred over the popular method of +1. You signed in with another tab or window. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. On hover, selecting the inline split button. Ill chime in along with the comment above truly this is my only problem/feature wish for VSCode. Is it OK to ask the professor I am applying to for a recommendation letter? Could someone point me in the right directions . The terminal features sophisticated link detection with editor integration and even extension contributed link handlers. Sorry! This is what I'd like -- just like popping out a Chrome tab. I don't even care about being able to tile them outside the main window, because then I can just use the OS window manager instead. The integrated terminal has find functionality that can be triggered with F (Windows, Linux Ctrl+F). One with the code editors and another with terminal and debugger. I downvoted to provide feedback on a level of priority I think the feature should be given in the backlog. This feature can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.altClickMovesCursor setting. I imagine there's still internal discussion going on. @bpasero has given his latest feedback in this comment above: #10121 (comment) An easier solution to implement (?) You also demystified me as a random internet troll, well played, sir! I've been doing some research on the floating windows problem (My knowledge with electron is almost non-existent) . edited: If you want to do that to run VSCode Tasks then I think open another VSCode window is the only way. 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. I doubt it'll ever get implemented :(. @hosaka Correct, although I didn't intend any sarcasm in my comment there. See the GPU acceleration section for more information. Dragging tabs outside the VS Code window currently copies the file (or a shortcut to it?) Why is sending so few tanks Ukraine considered significant? Yeah, off course. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Thanks for creating this issue! Why? macOS: Select the word under the cursor and show the context menu. 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. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-395718792, Do you have a reference that says it is supposed to be implemented in 1.11? 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. The community cannot contribute until such a plan is openly discussed. Only works with files; not on terminal windows. No response. 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 you really want VSCode featured in multiple windows, why not try to fork and make it possible by yourself? @RoyTinker chrome has "single-process" option but electron does not support it https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11398. There's a lot to to love about VS Code, but the one significant missing feature for me is the lack of floating editor-tab-only windows (like I've gotten used to having in Visual Studio). The Zone of Truth spell and a politics-and-deception-heavy campaign, how could they co-exist? And this whole "workaround" is not even practical, we need a real floating window feature like it's implemented in other editors. I stated the same thing everyone else did in supporting this feature. @WNemencha I'm assuming the team doesn't want any unnecessary dependencies. @bpasero by technical limitation do you say that it's a Electron limitation? 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. Why the down votes @minajevs, @djm158, and @JustinAddams? Thanks for the answers. for issues would be great! Sorry for the bad English, btw. Instead of creating a separate VSCode's terminal window, why don't you just simply open a Windows Powershell/CMD or Linux Terminal ? I just want to voice my opinion on this. I've just found this project https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow which allow use BrowserWindow without specific HTML file. Notepad++ has this function to float window. This is not a feature I'd prioritize, and in fact, I think it goes against the design and intent (see "Since it came out, code hasn't had multiple monitor support, and I assumed that choice was made intentionally.") By default, the shell integration script should automatically activate on supported shells launched from VS Code. Would you not be confused? Not the answer you're looking for? If this feature can be implemented, it would be awesome. Sounds great? We're developers, a lot of us would understand a technical reason.

How else should developers get info on what user base wants? Otherwise we would end up opening a heavy browser window with own context that contains only the UI pieces we want to show, which seems like the wrong direction. Hopefully this feature gets prioritized soon. 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/. The VScode team has responded to this topic to discuss the difficulty. I really hope this won't be implemented, focusing on a single window, streamlined, editing focused UX is a strong advantage of VSCode, not disadvantage. Configure your default profile by running the Terminal: Select Default Profile command, which is also accessible via the new terminal dropdown. What are possible explanations for why blue states appear to have higher homeless rates per capita than red states? I'm sure this issue is on the team's radar (it is the number one requested feature). This would not be movable outside of that WebView but at least you can freely position it within that. It's possible to open additional BrowserWindow instance but it require HTML file on load. I'm confident this is the design decision behind it but I'd be interesting to know otherwise. There are multiple ways this could be approached, I still think we need general guidance from the VSCode team before anyone can direct their support to other forms of constructive help. I think about great deal of developers have more than one monitor and using them effectively is a big win for productivity. But I still find it pleasant. The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. All windows where you can navigate your project or edit code are equal. It's fundamental to multi-monitor coding. Thanks @steinhh for the Cmd-K O keyboard combination. So, i will be miracle if user can move terminal/output/tab to another monitor, or do this window floating. Terminal 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. Request: Please close this issue for comments. I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). ((socket-guid)) --root-window ((root-window-guid)). @RoyTinker same here. Webstorm/Phpstorm both have this feature, and it is really the main thing that I like about those apps. Each extended window that is created is assigned a root window id, and the That would require the VSCode team to publicly discuss a plan for implementing this highly requested functionality. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. 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. 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). 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. We are beyond _if_, rather at _when_ and _how_ this enhancement hits vscode. To be honest I am often using VS Code by opening files and not folders. 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. The keybindings for copy and paste follow platform standards: Copying is done automatically on selection when terminal.integrated.copyOnSelection is enabled. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md, @Trevinlc1997 Why is this still not a thing ! 'No estimates' is also an answer. Nothing wrong with a work around since we don't have a solution. 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. Cookie Notice We only need 88 more votes to make it to the top 10. Big oversight on Microsoft's account. r/programming Hi r/programming. One of the reason i still use Eclipse over VS code. Would be nice to have similar to PyCharm/CLion. @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. Excuse me for being so careless. 'No estimates' is also an answer. Very disappointed to find this feature isn't supported.
