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. Hooray, we made it to the top 10 (this is actually # 9 now). They are also putting out a new grid feature. I'm trying to move off JetBeans and this isn't an optional or nice-to-have feature. Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. BTW using MacOS or Linux is not the only reason not to use VS, If you ever used VS, then you know how bloated it is. It is really time consuming to click and resize a window to see the content. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. 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. I wouldn't. Virtual machine, the code you write, the HTML page you design, the browser window you check, the debug output, the terminal and so on. Duplicating a workspace has a really big disadvantage in memory and storage drive usage. @Krzysztof-Cieslak Floating panels are built to be entirely optional in Visual Studio (i.e. https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11398. If you have an idea though, let us know. How can I customize the tab-to-space conversion factor? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-16/how-working-in-vr-could-make-you-more-productive Version 1.74 is now available! My mistake. 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. @SkyzohKey, it's already opened, they will not lose anything. A workaround in the mean time is to open two windows, open a parent folder and a child folder of the same project. _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. VS Code is quite amazing tool. :). Adding my request for this feature as well. Thanks @steinhh for the Cmd-K O keyboard combination. @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. Anyway, I'm out. 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. -- At any rate, Visual Studio does this amazingly well, perhaps you could reach out to the Visual Studio Prime team and ask to just borrow their code for this bit. This issue is now open for almost 1 and a half year. 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. Realistically this is my only problem with VS code at the moment. This way you could create a socket or bus of communication between windows On macOS and Linux, split terminals will inherit the current working directory of the parent terminal. The VScode team has responded to this topic to discuss the difficulty. @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. Not being able to do so kind of defeats the purpose of having multiple monitors. 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'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, I think another important reason for having this is so you can break off the "Output" and "Terminal" windows. Would be nice to have similar to PyCharm/CLion. What is the best way to show one file (with unit test) on the left monitor and the second file on the right monitor? But for me ergonomically very uncomfortable and tiring to a degree that makes me leaving it be again. It would be ideal to have this for some text editing as well. It looks like wanting this feature correlate with not having ability to use GH correctly nor behaving well in the internet discussion. This is the only reason that no-one on my team actually uses VS Code as their primary development platform. I think there is a possibility to implement something like this. Like Youtube Mini Player? Since there are multiple approaches to this that could be taken, and multiple open issues that have been combined into this one, I hope they will at least provide some guidance on what approach they prefer here so this feature request doesn't get bogged down by unproductive discussion. Only 68 more votes and this will be in the top 5 feature requests. Terminal in the editor area, also known as terminal editors, can be created through the Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area and Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area to the Side commands or by dragging a terminal from the terminal view into the editor area. It's such a basic feature, I first thought the missing of the floating window was a bug :'), @Aetherall I thought the same thing! Already on GitHub? Every time I update my lovely vscode I try to detach a tab and it does not work! Sometimes you watch the output or enter some commands in terminal. But that is my perspective. 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/. Add code coverage, team services, merge conflict tooling, full customization of the layout, build in package manager, cloud explorer, sql explorer, server explorer, application insights, class view, object browser, etc etc etc. I understand the fact that there are technical complexities to implement this feature. It's expensive, it will make application maintenance harder, it will prevent users focusing code. It should allow us to open multiple windows with the same workspace/project. Read about the new features and fixes from November. Cookie Notice So this isn't something that is in the catagory of; "Oh, I never thought of that!". +1. Then comes the chaos. Add a reaction to the original post and that'll be enough, no need to comment out the dreaded +1 comment. 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. This is now in high demand for 2 (TWO!) For people who suggest opening another window. Below are some examples of these characters with custom line height and letter spacing configured. So yeah here's one more developer wishing I could detach tabs out of VSCode just like work with VS. This should be done at the beginning, when you start writing this editor. This is done by injecting arguments and/or environment variables when the shell session launches. It's not the cleanest way of supporting multiple monitors/windows, however you can do the following: Now drag a tab in your already existing Visual Studio Code window into the new window you just opened. If you want to spend time helping on this issue, I suggest going to other places online where people who want this feature might end up (Stack Overflow, reddit, etc.) :). Will be watching this issue, please fix. Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. I guess I can understand that. 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). 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. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub r/programming Hi r/programming. 12:22 Uhr: @Deltatiger https://github.com/Deltatiger Is this shipped already? I can't get it to work (on 1.11.0-Insider). I can get all my colleagues to reply if you want. I'd say that's a personal preference, but hey, this thing has 237 upvotes vs 7 downvotes, so yeah. Changing that model would be rather fundamental (large) at this point. I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a must have rather than eventually type of task. I still don't get it why you are against it. @Jorilx do you know if there is a related issue on electron somewhere? Nah, by now they are used to ignoring the issue. How to change the default terminal profile in Visual Studio Code @RoyTinker Not at all, just though I'd clarify so others who read don't get their hopes up :), Bump. @ldexterldesign Have you tried running it by opening the command palette (+SHIFT+P) and typing Duplicate Workspace in New Window? If you really want VSCode featured in multiple windows, why not try to fork and make it possible by yourself? Links are activated by mousing over the link so an underline appears, then hold Ctrl/Cmd and click. That's why it is my default for a small screen (i.e. Terminal editors are ideal if you want a complex workbench layout such as terminals on either side of an editor or terminals arranged in two dimensions. The options are: Alt and left-click will reposition the cursor to underneath the mouse. 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. This feature would perhaps require extension developers implement some interface if they want their extension windows to float. I will continue to share support for this feature with thumbs up and rare constructive comments. You can help and contribute your skills to VSCode. But anyway, if the feature is well done that doesn't require extension developers to care anything more,,,,,,that would be gleit. We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Oddly I've actually been enjoying this behaviour - useful for referencing from the same document just like when creating a new tile. Support Dragging VSCode Document Tabs, Tool and Extension Windows out of an IDE instance across multiple workspaces/monitors. Keep it up, I'm loving your work. I was seriously beginning to fall for VS code as, on the whole, it is an awesome IDE. I'm not an electron developer so idk if this is a limitation of electron apps or if it can be done. Thanks @RoyTinker. Do you have a reference that says it is supposed to be implemented in 1.11? Op 9 jan. 2018 3:15 a.m. schreef Roy Tinker notifications@github.com: There might not be a clean or clear way of doing it across all platforms. This issue really only rose to prominence in the last 3 months or so. This should be a major long-term goal until it gets done. It's crititcal functionality, Especially for multi monitor setup. @WNemencha I'm assuming the team doesn't want any unnecessary dependencies. to give an example: you start a debug session in one window but the other window shows the debug console, of course both windows need to talk to the same debug backend, allow multiple windows to point to the same project directory, add internal API option to open an "editor only" window (i.e. Hey VS team, PLEASE implement this feature. It is unfortunate that the issue author has the priorities so ass-backwards, but I can't believe nobody at Microsoft has seen this ticket at some point over the past year, recognized the immense value in being able to drag an editor tab from one window to another (your Visual Studio crowd has been doing this for decades) and made this happen by now. "Ctrl + K then O" To all the people who propose the workaround with 2 windows. The terminal.integrated.cwd setting allows specifying a custom path to open instead: Split terminals on Windows will start in the directory that the parent terminal started with. 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. [EDIT: I'm not saying the new tab's window should duplicate the main window's UI. I think 8 months are more than enough time to at least give us a hint on what to expect. I know everybody didn't like being urged but, +1. Thanks. Chrome has a model where each window get's its own isolated context, e.g. I stated the same thing everyone else did in supporting this feature. @Hypernut I'm not a VSCode team member, nor do I speak for them. 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). https://github.com/electron-utils/electron-dockable. I don't think I need to explain need this, you should know what I'm talking about. Well occasionally send you account related emails. Hover the icon to read status information, which may contain actions. There's no such thing as a "main" window in Xcode. https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager, @s952163 Which it is not. It's fundamental to multi-monitor coding. 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. Ideally, the top-middle and right-hand monitors would be running a single instance of VS Code, with the JS file popped out as a separate, maximized window. Why is this still not a thing ! But I don't understand why we need multiple node.js instances for multiple windows? I only asked if there are any estimates from people looking after this repo. Save as a workspace It would be really nice to see support for multiple screens or floating windows. You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. 528), Microsoft Azure joins Collectives on Stack Overflow. It seems to be a bigger task, thus it make sense to ask before going with implementation. be successful. In neither case do I actually want a floating window such as in Visual Studio. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. This window dock-able feature is already is VSCode. I've been doing some research on the floating windows problem (My knowledge with electron is almost non-existent) . On hover, selecting the inline split button. Wouldn't it be better to just open a new terminal process outside of VSCode? May 26, 2021 at 2:44. Countless other software have done this, are doing it and will continue doing it so I'm not entirely sure what is actually stopping them from implementing one of the most requested features. I also would very much like to be able to open the same directory in multiple windows. Just clutters up the stores, makes them harder to maintain. Terminal This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes: Since, chrome creates a new process for every tab. Thanks. That is all I am asking for. Sharing single workspace processes across multi-window opened files. Would really be a great to have that. I'm just trying to help set expectations based on my observations of their past behavior and when this feature first would have appeared on their "user demand is high" radar. But hey, macOS Touch Bar support is there. 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. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. The is a top-three funtionality for a developer environment that Visual Studio (and every other developer environment has supported since Bill Cliniton was Presedent). Then I came and found this thread :-(. It's soo easy to use and fast on my slow computer! and our The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Just adding my support to this. A definitive must have on split screen 1 portrait, 1 landscape. I often use WebStorm (which has such feature). Why vote it down just because you wouldn't use it? Please give some responses to the current state of that feature. @Deltatiger "Open new window and drag and drop your file from the current workspace/window to the newly opened window.". Would love to have this feature as well. 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. This feature has been requested for years nowPlease implement it. "_floating windows option for: Right now I have to open a new VSCode and manually reopen the file. It's not the cleanest way of supporting multiple monitors/windows, however you can do the following: Now drag a tab in your already existing Visual Studio Code window into the new window you just opened. Multi monitor workspaces are not some relic of the 90s. VS Code will automatically detect most standard shells that can then be configured as the default. Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". @MangelMaxime Problems I am struggling to debug a large project despite working on three displays -- I can only have the debug console and the code that I'm stepping through on the one screen. Unfortunately it does not close the older tab which is expected for the floating window idea. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request. @scriptcoded yeah it's really hard to achieve feature at this moment. Word links are considered "low confidence" and will not show an underline or tooltip unless Ctrl/Cmd is held. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-395718792, Icons may appear to the right of the terminal title on the tab label when a terminal's status changes. 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. @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. Window code in portrait - Tools on landscape, I'd love to see this feature coming anytime soon . Big oversight on Microsoft's account. or independent apps. 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. https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAqQmoLrUY4l5H5xwroWCytBbgT2LIL_ks5s8HIqgaJpZM4JckZO @Hypernut I totally agree. It's not really "much", but this is a feature available in other editors that's sorely missing. Do peer-reviewers ignore details in complicated mathematical computations and theorems? I give up. Believe it or not, there exists a large community of developers who value productivity over locality in a coffee shop, or the top of a tree, or whatever is currently in vogue. You could then open any tabs you need in this new window, or if you just want to have the debug console here you can maximise it to fill the window. Well if I could work on my SPA efficiently and my web api backend in Visual Studio I wouldn't need VS Code either. You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Its hard to believe that its been 2 years and there has been so little progress on this. I really want this feature too - mainly to just have the debug window on a different monitor. 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. Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. Hi, First, open up your terminal. Back on track now Just my 2 cents I wait eagerly with every comment on this issue to hear a relevant update only to see more of the aforementioned comments. As I understand it, the use case is to support multiple monitors better. Now add the repo root folder into that new window/instance (because this is now effectively a new workspace) Now you have two windows using the same workspace on two monitors. (Basically Dog-people), How to see the number of layers currently selected in QGIS. Anyway, the point is: there is high demand NOW and it is absolutely being ignored. That is why I did not have any expectations about it. Navigate between terminal groups using focus next ] (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageDown) and focus previous [ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageUp). Even my comment is meta because it does the same (more clutter) and shouldn't be required. Yet it is free, which from the set off means it will have limitations. Imagine: You get in a taxi and tell the driver your destination. 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. You can open your terminal in a few ways. The look of Visual Studio Code's terminal can be customized extensively. https://twitter.com/joaomoreno/status/1004303587755855872?s=19. 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. @n0v1 the problem is not opening the a file/workspace in new window. Beeing a longtime user of Visual Studio, notepad++, working for years with 3 (21 - 25 inch) monitors it is actually the one single feature that after a few hours using Visual Studio Code stops me using it. I'm a bit disappointed that it was never a design consideration from the I see editor tabs as more important than the others. You'll have to set the terminal default directory again for the newly opened window to build. 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. They also have limited support for line and column suffixes. 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?). While the terminal is capable of displaying true color, programs commonly use 8 ANSI colors (black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white) and bright variants of each. This way you may also find smaller size monitors more appealing, because of their compact size and cheaper price. See the GPU acceleration section for more information. We all have different needs and you should not say others opinions are worthless. In this article, you will learn about how to create a file with any file type extension in vs code using a terminal with commands. Tearing off tabs into separate windows is __already possible__ , with some caveats/workarounds required. It's possible to open additional BrowserWindow instance but it require HTML file on load. Request: Please close this issue for comments. This missing feature is the main reason I cant use VS code. What about https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager ?? That status update is enough for me. I think it is high time, at least for a definitive statement: @Hypernut Actually the votes for this issue only really started to take off around December last year. If your goal is to be able to freely resize and move around e.g. @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. Wish GitHub would make it more obvious with a +1 button at every post than the +[Emoji]. I just know about it, since that is one of the main reasons why React v16 portals are so useful.. Come to think of it, the absence of floating windows (like VS proper) is my only real problem with VS Code. The minimum contrast ratio feature can cause colors to not be displayed as expected. This can be disabled with terminal.integrated.enableBell and the duration can be configured with terminal.integrated.bellDuration. 2.) and linking to this issue. There are several built-in link handlers that are used in the following priority order: URIs/URLs: These are links that look like URIs, such as https://code.visualstudio.com. But I also think, maybe, it not a easy work for vscode developers. What an absurd discussion tell me if I am correct. 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. @ramazanpolat The default visibility is designed to save horizontal space, but may not be desirable. Would it not be better to build it in now, when the overall system is relatively simpler ? Most shells allow extensive customization of the terminal prompt. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. Like others who mentioned it in this thread, multi-monitor coding kinda requires detachables. @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. Im trying to make a VSCode extension and is it possible to create a small window on top of the main window? 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). Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. How to Open VS Code from the Terminal. So the reference in the Iteration Plan #47369 is just a joke about getting a 4k monitor rather than a plan to support this? The community cannot contribute until such a plan is openly discussed. Only 42 33 22 17 8 2 0 more votes and this issue will be #1. I am not sure why the delay? By default, the terminal will open at the folder that is opened in the Explorer. If we stuck by architectural limitation that cost too much to make it happen, Why not just close it and going forward. 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. It means that if we would like to have something from VSC UI in additional window, then we have to load all application there and hide unnecessary parts of UI. Trolling / name calling / arguing gets us nowhere. So, i will be miracle if user can move terminal/output/tab to another monitor, or do this window floating. Yehya Abouelnaga notifications@github.com schrieb am Fr., 8. Especially for things like the terminal, sidebar, etc. Remove every plugins and just give one code window? After that we should be able to control child from parent via webContents. @Krzysztof-Cieslak this is probably the dummest statement I have read in while. It would be really great to have ability to drag tabs to different monitors making them new window. Typically when there are rendering problems it's an issue of something in your hardware/OS/drivers not playing nicely with the GPU renderer. Maintaining the context of the underlying buffer (file) in both these windows is the issue. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
