I use Code in one monitor and my browsers and emulators in the other screen. and linking to this issue. But, hopefully someone with more influence can take that up to GitHub. By that measure, VSCode is just an editor, despite built-in debugging/etc. Since it's critical to change core code on that level. 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 hope this feature be the max priority. "Ctrl + K then O" Sorry! Concurring with all above- this is the only fly in the ointment for me after switching from Sublime. But a bit of a warning: keep in mind vscode is mainly a text editor! Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and But -and I could be wrong- it is developed by Microsoft and Microsoft developers only. For a variety of reasons (like the one mentioned by @HighCommander) VS Code only starts one workspace per folder (and currently a single workspace can't span multiple instances). On a proper workstation I use Visual Studio. Ill chime in along with the comment above truly this is my only problem/feature wish for VSCode. We all have different needs and you should not say others opinions are worthless.

The "app" is an OS-specific container that instantiates/orchestrates these processes. @Nepoxx You are here just to give thumbs down opinions and comments from people. You wait a minute, confused why you're not moving and ask, "can we get going?" It would be ideal to have this for some text editing as well. I will look for solution for some simple FloatingWindow API and will share with you here if I create something interesting on my fork. I really want this feature too - mainly to just have the debug window on a different monitor. Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. 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. "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. I just want to voice my opinion on this. One way of opening your terminal is hitting the command button and the spacebar at the same time. 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). Is there an estimation for when the top 3 features will have been implemented? I cannot, however, consider it a serious contender for professional development without multi-screen support. @Krzysztof-Cieslak this is probably the dummest statement I have read in while. It's essentially a new instance of VSCode in same workspace. Over 14 months and still dead silence? I often use WebStorm (which has such feature). I might do some digging around later in the code to see if I could find a way to at least just have one workspace span multiple windows. This requires a bit of rearchitecting the internals of vscode, so let's be patient (or contribute). 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. Have a question about this project? 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). Hey VS team, PLEASE implement this feature. https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAqQmoLrUY4l5H5xwroWCytBbgT2LIL_ks5s8HIqgaJpZM4JckZO I am surprised to see that this still hasn't been added. We need the workspace explorer duplicated as well. I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. It will take time too. If there was a better alternative you'd be using it instead of wasting your time in this thread so next time say "thanks" instead of "how is this not done yet". 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. Wow, This is the most wanted feature by far! Read about the new features and fixes from November. @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. I think this issue should be frozen / restricted until someone can actually work on it (from VSCode team). Alternatively you can take your zero dollars and spend it elsewhere. Tried it a few times. (). Currently I'm developing a game where you can practice and apply your programming skills to automate all kinds of machinery in challenging environments. Ah, I read originally @n9 this was an electron problem. Navigate between terminal groups using focus next ] (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageDown) and focus previous [ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageUp). How else should developers get info on what user base wants? Which it is not. @faustinoaq Yes. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions and discussion. Unfortunately it does not close the older tab which is expected for the floating window idea. This feature ensures that text is readable regardless of the shell and theme used which is not possible otherwise. Since it came out, Code hasn't had multi-monitor support, and I assumed that choice was made intentionally. By default, the terminal will open at the folder that is opened in the Explorer. 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. @nguyenlamlll I suggest you read through https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/2686#issuecomment-344808761. I see editor tabs as more important than the others. When I try to open the same workspace in Mac OSX it always just focuses the already open window. This feature really should be a high priority feature. @Krzysztof-Cieslak There should be a option to disable comments on an issue and only allow reactions to the OP. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md, @Trevinlc1997 "104 more votes to make it to the top 10" as of October 25, 2017. Do commentaries as votes help? Yes it is free. But I can not find vs code has it. Now, edit the file in one window, it won't be reflected in the other window. Right now I have to open a new VSCode and manually reopen the file. The amount of scrollback kept is determined by the terminal.integrated.scrollback setting and defaults to 1000 lines. Please add this feature. instantiates/orchestrates these processes. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate.

These will open the system browser at that location. 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. Because in any other open source project like this, we already would have an answer if and when this get implemented and if not, why. Terminals often have contrast issues due to some conflict with dark/light themes, ANSI colors or shells/programs running, and more. years. Ctrl + K, O, It's such a basic feature, I first thought the missing of the floating window was a bug :'). In fact, it's the only feature that stops me using VS Code exclusively. 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). Why? Most shells allow extensive customization of the terminal prompt. @Krzysztof-Cieslak The default terminal profile shell defaults to $SHELL on Linux and macOS and PowerShell on Windows. This would also allow me to better manage and work whilst on the move where I'd only have my main screen available to work from, like on a train or at customer sites. I doubt it'll ever get implemented :(. But for me ergonomically very uncomfortable and tiring to a degree that makes me leaving it be again. @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. @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac. My workstation is composed by a laptop and an addittional monitor, which is rotated vertically for the sake of better reading. I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). For ppl wanting a workaround, if you create a symbolic link to the folder of your project and open that folder as a new window. 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? 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. 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. versus if the feature is built in later, when code would have become more complex due to "required features". In fact, you don't have to do anything, you just use VSCode as is. The integrated terminal has find functionality that can be triggered with F (Windows, Linux Ctrl+F). even if I only need the Explorer and debug, tabs Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. @bpasero @aeschli is this a feature that you'd like to get and review as a pull request? Well occasionally send you account related emails. This would not be movable outside of that WebView but at least you can freely position it within that. What an absurd discussion tell me if I am correct. How can I customize the tab-to-space conversion factor? @Jorilx do you know if there is a related issue on electron somewhere? +1. If you have an idea though, let us know. @michaljaros84 The fact that VS Code isn't intended to be an IDE like Visual Studio doesn't at all preclude UX enhancements like floating in-process windows. By default, the shell integration script should automatically activate on supported shells launched from VS Code. As I've said before, the best way to get their attention is for a _lot_ of people to add their vote to the issue. This is a serious deficiency with VSCode as an editor. VSCode is used by people who CODE. To the VS code team, please never "fix" this bug (unless you add multi-window support ofc). The basics of the terminal have been covered in this document. 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. It would a great feature, if the performance doesn't go down because of it. We all know the limitations of the platform, we try to give relevance to the topic so Microsoft team gives importance to the issue. @RoyTinker Thought everyone would be glad to know -- this feature request just made it to #4 by upvotes. I think there is a possibility to implement something like this. "Ctrl + K then O" 'No estimates' is also an answer. 3.) As is, I keep installing VS code, loving almost everything and eventually uninstalling when I realize the UX still hasn't been updated. This is the only reason that no-one on my team actually uses VS Code as their primary development platform. Why? Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. This is done by injecting arguments and/or environment variables when the shell session launches. 2 comments neatbot on Jun 7, 2017 VSCode Version: 1.12.2 OS Version: Win. I'm a bit disappointed that it was never a design consideration from the https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3527695/31317649-71a530b2-ac4d-11e7-9531-6fe2d4a2e967.gif, Support: 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. 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'll also have to close the tab you dragged from). @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. @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". This issue is getting pretty heated, I think those of us that support it should raise awareness for it (tweet, recommend, discuss), so it can make it to the top 10 list of requests. Condescending tone does not fix bugs. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. I could envision having some way to track the windows once it's opened. @tavuntu The problem with commenting simply with +1 makes useless clutter and spams people who watches this issue with a useless notification. Instead of creating a separate VSCode's terminal window, why don't you just simply open a Windows Powershell/CMD or Linux Terminal ? Have a question about this project? 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. @Penagwin Likewise, but given I don't know what the technical reasoning is for not being able to implement it, I am also going to be polite and reserve judgement and wait patiently like everyone else. We are not affiliated with GitHub, Inc. or with any developers who use GitHub for their projects. To be honest though, the only thing I really want to be able to do is drag code editor tabs out. To disable this feature, you can set: See the minimum contrast ratio section for more information. But detachable debug would be really good. My current VS Community Edition setup: This feature request is now #1 by upvotes. The terminal view can be maximized by clicking the maximize panel size button with the upwards chevron icon. Whether bold text uses the normal ANSI colors or the bright variant can be configured with the terminal.integrated.drawBoldTextInBrightColors setting. @bpasero Sorry for n00b question: could nativeWindowOpen help to solve the problem? 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. Do peer-reviewers ignore details in complicated mathematical computations and theorems? It needs to be implemented. So can Ctrl-Click on one monitor, and see corresponding code on another. Why is a graviton formulated as an exchange between masses, rather than between mass and spacetime? This was the last thing they told me about it @Hypernut, https://twitter.com/TheLoveDuckie/status/916447993594859522. 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 can cause colors to not be displayed as expected. Op 9 jan. 2018 3:15 a.m. schreef Roy Tinker notifications@github.com: This is 3rd by thumbs up and is 2nd in number of comments. Mostly I just don't like the default positions of the panes and want to move them around. Thus I configure the IDE to appear as follow: Could I live without it? No Im going to use it as a preview panel :). Also there was some amount of discussion on Multi Window coding (original suggestion of Ctrl + K, O to open a new window), so I thought I would just clarify that part here for all the people looking for that feature. I still don't get it why you are against it. 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. To work around this, you could run printf "\e[?2004l" to disable it for that session or add the following to your ~/.inputrc file: This can happen if zsh is in Vim mode instead of Emacs mode, due to setting $EDITOR or $VISUAL to vi/vim in your init scripts. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. Work around these issues by launching code with the --disable-gpu flag or by using the setting "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off" to avoid using the canvas in the terminal. So a minimum viable implementation of this feature wouldn't be intractable if one can automate steps 2-5 (+closing original tab) and trigger the automation when someone drags/drops a tab onto a non-vscode-owned part of the screen. 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. Please first point to a study showing that not having multiple monitor support improves productivity or rather is a better choice. 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/. Thanks for contributing an answer to Stack Overflow! And thanks @D1no, now I want an Oculus Rift so I can have 17 virtual monitors :). This can be disabled with terminal.integrated.enableBell and the duration can be configured with terminal.integrated.bellDuration. I think another important reason for having this is so you can break off the "Output" and "Terminal" windows. If this is distracting the animation can be disabled with: When the terminal's bell is triggered, a yellow bell icon is briefly shown. Left screen: Closely thing to this right now is "zen mode".. but it's not nearly the same experience. If VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! Find centralized, trusted content and collaborate around the technologies you use most. Please the issue to show your support. Support Dragging VSCode Document Tabs, Tool and Extension Windows out of an IDE instance across multiple workspaces/monitors. Thanks @steinhh for the Cmd-K O keyboard combination. ;-). So getting back to topic: What can we do? But that is my perspective. But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. https://github.com/electron-utils/electron-dockable. How is this not a feature yet, it's the only feature that stops me from using VS Code exclusively.. There's no such thing as a "main" window in Xcode. The downside is no drag and dropping tabs between them, but otherwise it works. They say that we can not have multiple node.js instances in one process. I think about great deal of developers have more than one monitor and using them effectively is a big win for productivity. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. Hmm, I don't appear to have this functionality in latest macOS - does it need to be enabled? The "app" is an OS-specific container that And some one who has a good ways to solve it? Why is this still not a thing ! @MangelMaxime 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. I typically would open e.g. @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. Extensions can contribute link providers which allow the extension to define what happens when clicked. Like Youtube Mini Player? I feel that Xcode does this really well if you're looking for inspiration. Otherwise, this thread will become kinda flooded. I imagine there's still internal discussion going on. Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. 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.. Notice how there are no gaps between cells thanks to the custom glyphs: This feature can be disabled by setting "terminal.integrated.customGlyphs": false. 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. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. @n0v1 the problem is not opening the a file/workspace in new window. How to change the default terminal profile in Visual Studio Code This discussion is outside the scope of this thread and could be talked about here (hey, actually, it's already everything we said so far! +1 @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac. I do not care if it's lightweight either. How else should developers get info on what user base wants? That doesnt help AT ALL with the actual problem of being unable to have stuff like debug inspector or terminal/output and so on on a second screen. Any estimates when VS code could be capable to do this? 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. 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. 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. Open the command palette using Ctrl + Shift + P. Type - Select Default Shell. You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. This is a free product, and Microsoft owes us nothing. Hopefully this feature gets prioritized soon, It would be really nice if we could tear of tabs to show the file/tab it in a separate window . Note: Open an external terminal with the C (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+C) keyboard shortcut if you prefer to work outside VS Code. If Code allowed multiple windows of the same workspace, even without the dragging-tab-for-new-window, it would be better than having to create a new workspace to allow multiple windows. Dragging and dropping tabs in the list will rearrange them.
