@hellboy81 @belst My bad, I thought you said VS Code. When using the "Compare file with previous revision" feature, it can be almost impossible to see certain diffs without having to go to the end of line, as the editor is split in two in one screen. The content in the terminal is called the buffer, with the section right above the bottom viewport being called "scrollback". Gonna subscribe to this issue to get ping'd when this great feature is present. This is the only reason that no-one on my team actually uses VS Code as their primary development platform. - leaf_yakitori. The terminal tabs UI is on the right side of the terminal view. @kodipe Neat! Don't double post please. That said, I don't know if I'd find it useful. Every time I update my lovely vscode I try to detach a tab and it does not work! Should be on the roadmap. privacy statement. So if i want to float window on my other screen, I still need to open new window then open my file, i think it is too laborious to use. Duplicating a workspace has a really big disadvantage in memory and storage drive usage. If thats correct, I am pretty sure that they get payed for working on this. What an absurd discussion tell me if I am correct. This confusion between tab movement versus detachable windows is exactly why I do NOT support detachable tabs. This will temporarily hide the editors and maximize the panel. Would an acceptable way of allowing usage of multiple windows to store those windows in the workspace configuration? Would love to have it implemented. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. Why the down votes @minajevs, @djm158, and @JustinAddams? I have little doubt that VS Code team must realize this is a - nuclear level issues - so obviously they have a major architectural flaw that they simply can't address. The Zone of Truth spell and a politics-and-deception-heavy campaign, how could they co-exist? @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. Sorry for the bad English, btw. With a little luck, It could be a very simple change in the VSCode main window. Also from main workspace window we as developers could create a bridge service, that would listen from child duplicated workspaces events, and main workspace window could interact with that. @RoyTinker same here. I used this feature as a Work Around in the sense that I can now have one window (the original window) for all the Output / Git / Terminal and create a new Window for the actual code. Navigate between terminals in a group by focusing the previous pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Left), or the next pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Right). This action creates another entry in the tab list associated with that terminal. There is already much to do on VSCode, to improve the current user experience without adding more complexity. I recently, started using JetBrains tools as an alternative. @scriptcoded yeah it's really hard to achieve feature at this moment. 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. That would require the VSCode team to publicly discuss a plan for implementing this highly requested functionality. Yeah! The best I can offer would be to resize the window so it covers both your screens and split the editor into two tiles along the middle between your monitors. Hey VS team, PLEASE implement this feature. In neither case do I actually want a floating window such as in Visual Studio. I want to be able to open files into a new window (for example to put on a different monitor or a different virtual workspace). 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. 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. The fact that Code is an IDE doesnt mean we need to port all terrible UX choices for VS like floating panels. Have a question about this project? This is now in high demand for 2 (TWO!) Save as a workspace Separating windows to different monitors is a basic requirement in this case. Not having it is a deal breaker. is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". This is typically caused by driver/VM graphics issues and the same also happens in Chromium. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. To everyone trying to excuse this due to technical limitations: Please remember that someone had the opportunity to evaluate a platform/language to build vscode on, and they decided on a framework that has a very obvious flaw. This feature has been requested for years nowPlease implement it. It seems to be a bigger task, thus it make sense to ask before going with implementation. be successful. Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you! To the VS code team, please never "fix" this bug (unless you add multi-window support ofc). [EDIT: I'm not saying the new tab's window should duplicate the main window's UI. Will be watching this issue, please fix. Concurring with all above- this is the only fly in the ointment for me after switching from Sublime. bleepcoder.com uses publicly licensed GitHub information to provide developers around the world with solutions to their problems. Changing that model would be rather fundamental (large) at this point. And later select needed window by Cmd+~ for example or seen results on another screen. This is a free product, and Microsoft owes us nothing. Wow, This is the most wanted feature by far! I stated the same thing everyone else did in supporting this feature. @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. ), A thumbup for this. 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! 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. Debug console Open Visual Studio Code and press and hold Ctrl + ` to open the terminal. In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. But instead, it would require us to create a whole new instance of VS Code with separate extension host even in order to have the editor in a standalone window (this would be comparable to doing File > New Window and opening that file in the window). 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. It's a shame that this is still not possible, people with multi monitor setup would profit a lot. 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. Try accessing projects with multiple configurations of multiple languages, tooling and frameworks (such as .NET (plus tools and libs) for backend and buisness logic + DB abstractions and Angular/VueJS/React for front-end or some other frameworks). If VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! Xcode allows for multiple windows for a project. +1. I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. EDIT: Apparently somebody didn't get the sarcasm. I've tried to check what we could do with floating windows in VSC. It was the Language Server Protocol that attracted me to VSCode in the first place. or independent apps. You can't debug in the other editor either. You've paid nothing for it. Thanks! By default, the terminal will open at the folder that is opened in the Explorer. Ill try.. https://twitter.com/joaomoreno/status/1004303587755855872?s=19. If I were working on a git project, I could see how my current workflow of opening a new window and dragging files there would only allow me to take folder/git actions from the original window. @Aetherall and others, please read further up the thread. to your account. I don't see a value to dramatically increase complexity if the same functionality can be achieved by spawning a new process. @belst It still does allow multiple windows on the same workspace, which is an improvement on VS Code. Chiming with a motion to undock, especially the watch window. Hooray, we made it to the top 10 (this is actually # 9 now). I cannot, however, consider it a serious contender for professional development without multi-screen support. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and Not really. @TedYav That restriction has technical reasons behind it - see #2686 for more info & discussion. 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? But, dont know recently why its not working +1. @faustinoaq Yes. 528), Microsoft Azure joins Collectives on Stack Overflow. The single most useful reason to have multiple windows is to debug across server (node) and client (Angular). I've just found this project https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow which allow use BrowserWindow without specific HTML file. One downside of this is that colored text may sometimes lose some of its saturation. This is very important. Version 1.74 is now available! I don't think I need to explain need this, you should know what I'm talking about. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Thanks for creating this issue! Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". "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. 800 upvotes now! 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. See my comment added under this ticket: It needs 104 more votes to make it into the top 10. Dont forget we have VisualStudio Community, please consider to move some feature to VS plugin. Then comes the chaos. Support Dragging VSCode Document Tabs, Tool and Extension Windows out of an IDE instance across multiple workspaces/monitors. @rozzzly -even the team building it refers to it as editor rather than IDE so clearly there is no drive to make it fully blow IDE. @ramazanpolat It's possible to open additional BrowserWindow instance but it require HTML file on load. @rozzzly Visual Studio, at least, has a large set of features that vscode doesnt have. @napalm684 Good point, nevertheless I think this is not a problem in Electron (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-346088717), but with VSCode architecture itself (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-346290180). @Krzysztof-Cieslak, you say old IDE's had a design problem that forced us to have multiple monitors, OK, I'll take that, I don't know enough on that topic to say that's right or wrong (and I was born in 1991 so I didn't really have a chance), but it doesn't matter how you see it, it's more productive to see 2 or more files at the same time than clicking tabs or using some key combinations to change the view, this is specially true when these files have a strong dependency. Its really a showstopper for this otherwise great editor. Some developers use VS Code as a standalone terminal by opening a new window, maximizing the panel, and hiding the side bar. When GPU acceleration is enabled, custom rendering, rather than the font, improves how some characters display in the terminal. I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). You don't like it, go and pay JetBrains or Microsoft for something that has all the features you require. Why vote it down just because you wouldn't use it? I know that it is OSS. There might not be a clean or clear way of doing it across all platforms. It's not really "much", but this is a feature available in other editors that's sorely missing. 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. Only 150 more and it'll be in the top 3! Got tired of adjusting the problems/output/terminal window up and down. You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. 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. 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. Isn't the "Duplicate Workspace in New Window" command added to the command pallette a couple of versions ago a better option? I fully agree that it would be a great feature, but really guys give the nice folks from vscode some rest. The Terminal: Set Fixed Dimensions command allows changing the number of columns and rows that the terminal and it's backing psuedoterminal uses. Text in the terminal can be customized with the following settings: Powerline fonts are special patched fonts that contain additional characters that can be used in the terminal. +1. Use "Ctrl K, O" to open the current file in a different vscode window for editing. 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). Not just that, I am not sure how much else will be affected. This approach means multiple monitors are easily supported. It's soo easy to use and fast on my slow computer! I do not care if it's lightweight either. @RoyTinker "I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. THis issue would likely receive a lot more upvotes if the original ask were phrased better. It would be really great to have ability to drag tabs to different monitors making them new window. Sometimes silence is worse than a negative answer. Adding my request for this feature as well. 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. I do find it odd that although this is now two years old and the most wished for and discussed feature here, this is still being completely ignored by the developers. FWIW, I use 4 monitors side-by-side. 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. 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. Visual Studio Code includes a full featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. The "app" is an OS-specific container that instantiates/orchestrates these processes. This feature can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.altClickMovesCursor setting. Remove every plugins and just give one code window? Its hard to believe that its been 2 years and there has been so little progress on this. +1 How tabs are presented can be configured with the following settings: The text on each tab is determined by the following settings: By default, the title displays what the shell's detected process name. I agree that it would be really nice to just be able to drag an existing tab to a second monitor but this is at least a pretty painless workaround until they support dragging tabs to another monitor. That is all I am asking for. That is why I did not have any expectations about it. There is a technical reason why this feature is not making a lot of progress: We are using the Electron framework as cross platform UI framework which is based on Chrome underneath. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. And thanks @D1no, now I want an Oculus Rift so I can have 17 virtual monitors :). Vscode is awesome and it will be more awesome with this fonctionality! 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. VS Code is quite amazing tool. Thought everyone would be glad to know -- this feature request just made it to #4 by upvotes. Sorry! Following this thread for long time and still not having it late march 2018 (almost 2 years) is such a pitty. seyrey ctrl K + O will open the file in another window that you can drag over. Bump, this is the only thing holding me back from moving to VS Code completely. Dragging a tab outside the window should split into a new window like virtually every single other tabbed application out there. This is similar to opening Markdown preview tabs which also duplicates itself at times. This is awsome app, and I recently move from Webstorm to vscode. https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAqQmoLrUY4l5H5xwroWCytBbgT2LIL_ks5s8HIqgaJpZM4JckZO So many requests for this, and they are consistently coming in too. 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). Want to see this feature being implemented? CaptAmari 1 yr. ago I hit this limitation a couple of times a day, it's a pretty big missing feature for me. laptop, as it manages real estate in brilliant way) and platforms other than Windows. @bpasero I suspect there's a possible 80/20 (% benefit/effort) intermediate target that wouldn't involve several of the complexities you mentioned. 2 comments neatbot on Jun 7, 2017 VSCode Version: 1.12.2 OS Version: Win.
