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. I know that it is OSS. +1. Their implementation isn't suitable to VScode's architecture, is that it? To disable this feature, you can set: See the minimum contrast ratio section for more information. Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you! Everyone now telling the duplicate workspace stuff, but that's sure now known by everyone und doesn't need to be repeated so often. This behavior is baffling to me. I use a portrait orientation monitor as my main editor, and having my file tree/explorer panel on a different monitor makes a big difference for me. 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? Chrome has a model where each window get's its own isolated context, e.g. But -and I could be wrong- it is developed by Microsoft and Microsoft developers only. 400+ upvotes. This would really be super useful for multi-monitor productivity. @JustinAddams That what I am doing right now, Also would be nice to have adjusted view configuration for duplicated workspace view. This is an OSS. Thanks! I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. 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. @bpasero @aeschli is this a feature that you'd like to get and review as a pull request? Hi everyone, I was thinking of making a VSCode extension and I was wondering if the extension API allows extensions to create overlays like the command palette in VSCode (the one that pops up when you do Ctrl + Shift + P). Thanks for the suggestions and discussion. can't vscode do the same with code tabs this way? @ramazanpolat That is why I did not have any expectations about it. I will have to agree with the comments above. Is it not deemed worthy enough as VSCode cannot be monetized ? @Rouche VSCode is implemented in Electron, which means each window is a separate chromium process, accompanied by some back-end processes as well. I only asked if there are any estimates from people looking after this repo. Specifically editor tabs. This action creates another entry in the tab list associated with that terminal. I wait eagerly with every comment on this issue to hear a relevant update only to see more of the aforementioned comments. I guess I can understand that. Do you have a reference that says it is supposed to be implemented in 1.11? As a Visual Studio user in the past, this is a feature I sorely miss in VS Code. To use the runSelectedText command, select text in an editor and run the command Terminal: Run Selected Text in Active Terminal via the Command Palette (P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)), the terminal will attempt to run the selected text. Right now I have to open a new VSCode and manually reopen the file. It feels insane to be stuck on just 1 monitor for code editing, especially when I'm working on several files simultaneously. 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. That status update is enough for me. Otherwise, this thread will become kinda flooded. Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. Or just thumbs up main post enough? I really want this feature!! Separating windows to different monitors is a basic requirement in this case. How to create a floating window in VSCode extension? I only see this feature possible when we find a way to create windows that share the same memory to the "main" window so that this operation is lightweight. To learn more, see our tips on writing great answers. Dragging and dropping tabs in the list will rearrange them. Its really a showstopper for this otherwise great editor. I've got to admit that I am shocked that an editor as established as VSCode doesn't allow me to drag a tab to a second monitor. @vossad01 You are right I was confused for a sec, because I came from the closed issue #10147 where it said "Already addressed by #10121" and I took "addressed" as "solved". Also caching can be issue. Anyway, I have 2 monitors and I still consider to buy the third one. By that measure, VSCode is just an editor, despite built-in debugging/etc. Sure you can disable those tools and stuff, but when working in a large team, it always happens someone commits vscode settings folder (even if it's gitignored - don't ask me how this happens). You can learn more about configuring terminal shells in the terminal profiles article. For example, "'Fira Code', monospace" will configure Fira Code as the primary font and monospace as the fallback when it lacks glyphs. 12:22 Uhr: @Deltatiger https://github.com/Deltatiger Is this shipped already? +1. I would not be possible to share the same context between multiple windows. Otherwise it is an absolute pleasure to work with, and far superior to Sublime and others (in my opinion). Instead of creating a separate VSCode's terminal window, why don't you just simply open a Windows Powershell/CMD or Linux Terminal ? I'd like the floating/dock-able windows and the positions saved for the next load. VSCode is used by people who CODE. Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. 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). Imho it would not work to have each of the floating windows be fully isolated as they are now. You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Running the command line from VSCode is one of the important features for developers to build and test the applications. Thanks for the votes!! These ANSI colors are determined by the active color theme, but they can also be configured independently from the theme with the workbench.colorCustomizations setting. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. I'm not defending the VSCode team or anything, just acting on my belief that complaints/etc. Can't we have Electron=multiple windows+single node.js in one process? 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. I totally need and support this feature! Odd that they would ignore the seemingly high demand for this feature. 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. 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). @bpasero maybe we should lock this issue for comments, because we're over here arguing about taxi drivers , Sorry if I'm wrong, but there some kind of support for multiple windows: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager. This means that the configured font does not need to support these characters as well as having the characters draw pixel perfect and stretch to the size of the entire cell. Window code in portrait - Tools on landscape, I'd love to see this feature coming anytime soon . I hope this feature be the max priority. Find the nvm initialization script and run which npm before it runs, which should print the path when you launch a new terminal. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and @jayarjo I've been doing something similar by opening a new vscode window and dragging my tab in there. I just want to be able to move the terminal and debug console to where ever it bugs me the least. Vscode is awesome and it will be more awesome with this fonctionality! @Krzysztof-Cieslak I give up. Thumbs up on the main post is what we need lets not add to this thread unless we have something to add to the discussion. Ah, I read originally @n9 this was an electron problem. Xcode allows for multiple windows for a project. The downside is no drag and dropping tabs between them, but otherwise it works. 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. You signed in with another tab or window. The default terminal profile shell defaults to $SHELL on Linux and macOS and PowerShell on Windows. even if I only need the Explorer and debug, tabs The worst case would be that all the old extensions should be rewrite to support floating. Just clutters up the stores, makes them harder to maintain. 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 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. By talking about it here, we are only making it worse - see you on the other side of the force and have a good day! @Deltatiger Thanks for the reply. So this isn't something that is in the catagory of; "Oh, I never thought of that!". I'm not an electron developer so idk if this is a limitation of electron apps or if it can be done. You signed in with another tab or window. Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. It will take time too. Version 1.74 is now available! First, open up your terminal. Indefinite article before noun starting with "the", Two parallel diagonal lines on a Schengen passport stamp, Counting degrees of freedom in Lie algebra structure constants (aka why are there any nontrivial Lie algebras of dim >5?). See the attached gif below. This approach would be greatly appreciated in VS Code. I agree with the "let's not make this compete with Visual Studio" comment. @Hypernut I'm not a VSCode team member, nor do I speak for them. @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). The community cannot contribute until such a plan is openly discussed. @benm-eras I'm aware of that but it seems as though there is support for that functionality already. Your idea of a proper UI for +1'ing a feature request / "I have this problem!" @RoyTinker Perhaps we can discuss the merits of floating in-process versus separate instances? My best guess is that it's difficult for them to create a new windows with the tab and have the tab keep it's state because of electron. You can also right-click on a terminal tab and select Toggle Size to Content Width (Z (Windows, Linux Alt+Z)) to resize the number of terminal columns to the largest wrapped line in the terminal. Adding my request for this feature as well. You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. 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. 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 VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. One downside of this is that colored text may sometimes lose some of its saturation. This is free software. Other terminals often display the escape sequence sent by the shell as the title, which can be configured with: Each terminal has an associated icon that is determined by its terminal profile. Should be on the roadmap. Got some great news for anyone else who (like me) didn't know: looks like this feature is already (mostly) implemented. Tried it a few times. Have a question about this project? +1 I can't find a menu option for that at all and I am guaranteed to forget the shortcut, but it does work! The lack of this feature is a huge issue for those with multiple monitors (basically everyone who works with code). We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. In child Workspace terminal tab I can start yarn test --watch, But I see this just a loading a child session of Visual Studio Code but not fully loaded vscode, but a simplified and lighter variant of load Hope this should not take much resources, Also modules on the VSCode should communicate through some middleware, that can easily connect many instances between each other, so in child Workspace window we can see problem from ESLint for example, Maybe this "brainstorm" will be helpful for someone, hope so :). When I try this now, the new workspace definitely doesn't reopen the folder, but the git actions remaining even if I am working with files below the repository directory. Especially for things like the terminal, sidebar, etc. OK, glad to hear that. I was seriously beginning to fall for VS code as, on the whole, it is an awesome IDE. At first you can't possibly ignore it, but after a while you don't even see it anymore. 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. Sorry for the bad English, btw. Select WSL Bash (NOT Git Bash) from the options. Please give some responses to the current state of that feature. For those who just want to open files in new windows and were lead to this page by Google, use the keyboard shortcut for "Open Active Files in New Window"; I've been recently looking into ultra wide monitors and with the new screen real estate I'd want to utilize it for maximum productivity. 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. This feature has been requested for years nowPlease implement it. No roadmap no milestone no promises, whats happening ! Open workspace in one window and project folder in the other. (To vote, add a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment. We do not host any of the videos or images on our servers. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request. Changing that model would be Multi monitor workspaces are not some relic of the 90s. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. It was the Language Server Protocol that attracted me to VSCode in the first place. I am not sure why the delay? Basicaly, it creates base64 encoded string as URL for window: https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow/blob/master/src/index.js#L76 on load. @bpasero "removed from backlog" -- any comment? 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. 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. 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. Typical dev commenting on this issue: "All other IDEs with bad UI designed in 90s forced me to buy multiple screens to be productive at all, so this new IDE shouldn't try to fix problem differently but replicate same bad UI and support my multiple screens".
