So the reference in the Iteration Plan #47369 is just a joke about getting a 4k monitor rather than a plan to support this? @bpasero by technical limitation do you say that it's a Electron limitation? If this is distracting the animation can be disabled with: When the terminal's bell is triggered, a yellow bell icon is briefly shown. notepad.exe is a text editor, notepad++ is a text editor, vscode prior to intergrated terminal, task runners, scm, and debug _was_ a text editor. Windows: Copy and drop selection if there is a selection, otherwise paste. Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. I just want to voice my opinion on this. to perform the same as Ctrl+C. These will open the file in a new editor tab and support common line/column formats such as file:1:2, file:line 1, column 2. is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac. Read about the new features and fixes from November. https://github.com/electron-utils/electron-dockable. When I try to open the same workspace in Mac OSX it always just focuses the already open window. +1 vote from me! You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. This was the last thing they told me about it @Hypernut, https://twitter.com/TheLoveDuckie/status/916447993594859522. Following this thread for long time and still not having it late march 2018 (almost 2 years) is such a pitty. We all have different needs and you should not say others opinions are worthless. 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. I strongly support the request of this feature. I haven't seen commits in awhile, not sure if he hit a snag or just got busy. Site Maintenance- Friday, January 20, 2023 02:00 UTC (Thursday Jan 19 9PM Were bringing advertisements for technology courses to Stack Overflow, How can you create multiple cursors in Visual Studio Code. Kiddo, do you live behind the moon or are you just trolling? +1 It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. 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). I'm a CS professor strongly interested in game-based learning. I used Visual Studio as my primary editor for about 9 years, and then switched to VS Code after moving to a front-end-only project team. It would be really nice if we could tear of tabs to show the file/tab it in a separate window . ", that IS a valid argument! Below PowerShell and WSL terminals are stacked in an editor group to the right of a group of file editors. But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. I think tabs need to be free to move anywhere, just like Google Chrome tabs do. File - New Window ,open a new terminal in new window. Perhaps bade it upon that? or maybe they just don't want to make too strong competition for Visual Studio ;-}. All windows where you can navigate your project or edit code are equal. be successful. File links: These are links that we have verified represent files on the system. 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. I will have to agree with the comments above. A definitive must have on split screen 1 portrait, 1 landscape. Out of curiosity, why would you want to separate the terminal into a new window? To make it clear, open a file in one workspace and open the same file in the duplicated workspace. 'No estimates' is also an answer. This behavior is baffling to me. 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. +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. Also, if it proves to have this effect on workstations, have the opportunity to turn this feature off entirely. @Jorilx do you know if there is a related issue on electron somewhere? 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. There are workarounds to make an offline installer out of an online installer on the net! They will get back to us when there is a further update. It cripples the experience and productivity of daily work. 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. 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. I'm not an Electron guy of any sorts, but I've tinkered around with it a little bit. But a bit of a warning: keep in mind vscode is mainly a text editor! You are receiving this because you commented. I can see no progress on this feature and few years past. 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'm glad I'm not alone. I know this is a opensource freeware, but this limitation may stop new users from using VS Code. https://twitter.com/joaomoreno/status/1004303587755855872?s=19. I want to have my Angular files in one window, my node files in another, and the Terminal in another full screen so I can see the output of what's going on. Thanks for the suggestions and discussion. Sometimes silence is worse than a negative answer. Floating tabs/editors is a must especially when working with dual monitor setup. 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? How to use Visual Studio Code as default editor for git? Also caching can be issue. What is the best way to show one file (with unit test) on the left monitor and the second file on the right monitor? Find centralized, trusted content and collaborate around the technologies you use most. 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. Thanks! An easier solution to implement (?) 2 years since it was requested. Wouldn't it be possible to launch a new window, and do communication between the parent window and the child via the webContents API? Especially for things like the terminal, sidebar, etc. 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). @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. Can't drag tab out of workspace to move to new window, floting panels; undock panels and move them around, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/8, Navigate through explorer by typing start of file/folder name, Add option to launch and debug external powershell.exe, Can't create new window by dragging a tab out of current window, Multi-file search results are very hard to skim and use, Explorer / search / debug / git / extensions. What you should not do is whine and try to guilt trip the great team behind VS Code into feeling bad. Use "Ctrl K, O" to open the current file in a different vscode window for editing. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. 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. If you have an idea though, let us know. Coming in and stating my own experience: I've successfully used VScode in the past to compile and debug a game engine project I contribute to, but since I can't do detached windows with VScode, i'm unfortunately sticking with CLion, which is slowly but surely taking on Visual Studio at large. There is already much to do on VSCode, to improve the current user experience without adding more complexity. 1.) This feature has been requested for years nowPlease implement it. This is the last piece we are missing as others have said from a full move from other editors. That doesn't mean that I'm not extremely irritated that this feature isn't even on the radar. Don't double post please. How else should developers get info on what user base wants? @bpasero has given his latest feedback in this comment above: #10121 (comment) One way of opening your terminal is hitting the command button and the spacebar at the same time. Each terminal has an entry with its name, icon, color, and group decoration (if any). I don't see a value to dramatically increase complexity if the same functionality can be achieved by spawning a new process. @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. If not having this feature truly prevents you from using VS Code then you are free to contribute a pull request that implements at least some of the required changes to get this working. Running Move Terminal into Editor Area with a terminal focused. Good news - this has moved up to #13 in feature requests sorted by upvotes. Please the issue to show your support. or mute the thread 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 way you may also find smaller size monitors more appealing, because of their compact size and cheaper price. back-end processes as well. is bound to "Open Active File in New Window", Just my 2 cents This works by simulating arrow keystrokes, which may not work reliably for some shells or programs. It really aids productivity and for that single reason I still use WS instead of VSC. I think it would be a good option to expose on the right-click menu for the active tab and/or items in the Open Editors document explorer. Please see our roadmap for what we plan to work on in the next 6-12 months: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Roadmap, Please see our roadmap for what we plan to work on in the next 6-12 months. Do you honestly think the vscode team would merge something that changes their product at such a fundamental level when they're not directing it? By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Output_ The integrated terminal can use various shells installed on your machine, with the default being pulled from your system defaults. @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. If we stuck by architectural limitation that cost too much to make it happen, Why not just close it and going forward. You can move tabs between windows but you cannot create a new window by dragging a tab out. IDEs included. Sharing single workspace processes across multi-window opened files. But I still find it pleasant. Cookie Notice One with the code editors and another with terminal and debugger. How? come on guys this was already requested from day one. 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. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/24/andreessen-horowitz-london-virtual-reality-startup-improbable 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! It's soo easy to use and fast on my slow computer! Hes a core VSCode team member. We only need 88 more votes to make it to the top 10. They seem to be dodging the question about it being a limitation of electron and whether or not they are actually ever going to be able to do it sadly. Voted up, this is the only thing that's missing moving from Sublime. I recently, started using JetBrains tools as an alternative. We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. @RoyTinker no it has no specific meaning, I just prefer to have issues that I care about assigned to no milestone unless work is starting. Changing that model would be Select WSL Bash (NOT Git Bash) from the options. to your account. I was just trying to help with a temporary workaround that I use while waiting for this feature. 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. Sometimes you watch the output or enter some commands in terminal. -- It was the third thing I tried to do in VS Code (right after changing the theme to light, so that I could see the menus, and installing the mssql extensions). very beginning. @RoyTinker Not at all, just though I'd clarify so others who read don't get their hopes up :), Bump. I'm honestly tired of trying to get some communication from the vscode team. The basics of the terminal have been covered in this document. This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes: 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. You can help and contribute your skills to VSCode. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. @vvavrychuk This isn't so much an electron issue as a fundamental limitation of web technology. Since VSCode is written with Electron "floating windows" is kinda hard to accomplish, but allowing to open the project twice would help a lot, but this doesn't seem to work either. Mostly I just don't like the default positions of the panes and want to move them around. 12:22 Uhr: @Deltatiger https://github.com/Deltatiger Is this shipped already? 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. You signed in with another tab or window. 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. +1 if you open the output panel it should focus the window where the output panel was opened in), probably the biggest challenge: all our services that currently live within one window (and that includes all extensions and the extension host) need to move out of the window into a shared backend that each window can talk to. Look through the comment history and youll see a post from (IIRC) less than 8 months ago saying Only X more votes and this will be in the top 10.. As is, I keep installing VS code, loving almost everything and eventually uninstalling when I realize the UX still hasn't been updated. Move between open windows or when dragged to desktop will open a new window for that tab. A terminal's "status", if any, is signified by an icon that appears on the right of the tab. I want it to spawn a new copy of VSCode. Unfortunately it does not close the older tab which is expected for the floating window idea. Thanks for the votes!! @vvavrychuk by "single-process" I'm referring to the web context (sans workers) only. @kodipe Neat! I use, but am limited to windows only ;-) while vscode I use on linux, macos, windows. @belst It still does allow multiple windows on the same workspace, which is an improvement on VS Code. To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut to toggle the terminal panel. @zewa666 yes it's free and awesome, I'm thankful about that. Remove every plugins and just give one code window? A workaround in the mean time is to open two windows, open a parent folder and a child folder of the same project. How can I customize the tab-to-space conversion factor? Tearing the tab out is the behavior I want (the same way it works in Chrome browser). is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". I looked through the documentation but couldn't figure out which one to use. 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. By default, the shell integration script should automatically activate on supported shells launched from VS Code. for issues would be great! https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md, @Trevinlc1997 This is an OSS. @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). If they want to add this functionnality, they will be wanting to implement it in a way that allow it's full potential Why is sending so few tanks Ukraine considered significant? @hellboy81 @belst My bad, I thought you said VS Code. If you have some contributions to share beside trolling, we are all happy to hear you out. _What features do other IDEs have that vscode doesn't?_ There are some things I'm sure, but not many. 2 comments neatbot on Jun 7, 2017 VSCode Version: 1.12.2 OS Version: Win. Version 1.74 is now available! Is it because no devs are currently enlisted to work on VSCode ? Once your terminal is open, you can open VS Code from it by typing $ code . +1 Agreed, would love to be able to drag out my tabs into their own windows. The typical reasons for this are the following: To resolve this issue, you need to track down where the old npm is installed and remove both it and its out-of-date node_modules. If this feature gets implemented, you don't have to have multiple monitors to use VS Code. 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. But detachable debug would be really good. The amount of scrollback kept is determined by the terminal.integrated.scrollback setting and defaults to 1000 lines. Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. Chiming in with what others have said -- Not being able to dock the various panels is a bit of a deal breaker for me as well. Thanks for the reply. Please the issue to show your support. That means we're realizing a flaw to GitHub's reaction system. Nonetheless, coming from Sublime Text, this feature was something I really enjoyed and would want to see in VSCode one day. 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 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 default terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration value of "auto" tries the WebGL, canvas, and DOM renderers sequentially, settling at the first without detected issues.

For instance, open the directory for your app in one window, and the 'public' folder in the other window. 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). Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. 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. That is why I did not have any expectations about it. it's more productive to see 2 or more files at the same time, You can currently see 3 files, one vertical panel (debugger, git, search, explorer) and horizontal panel at the same time, @D1no, My mistake. Hover the icon to read status information, which may contain actions. Tried it a few times. i would love to detach debugger console so as to view on 2nd monitor. Look at JetBrains - they made a successful business of building these things ;). We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Thanks for creating this issue! @mlewand this is no area where we expect a PR due to technical limitations. 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. You can create something that's similar, by using a WebView instance, which creates an absolutely positioned div within that page. It seems to be a bigger task, thus it make sense to ask before going with implementation. :) It's like putting a note on your bathroom mirror. Anyway, the point is: there is high demand NOW and it is absolutely being ignored.
