That's easy part. _(Most)_ of the people in this thread are not complaining "I want this." I bet I won't see any proof of concept implementations. 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! To get this behavior in VS Code, add this custom keybinding: One of our accessibility features we enable by default is to ensure a minimum contrast ratio of at least 4.5 is met for the foreground text. +1. Any estimates when VS code could be capable to do this? But, dont know recently why its not working +1. 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. @bpasero by technical limitation do you say that it's a Electron limitation? That is why I did not have any expectations about it. I really want this feature!! This is an OSS. Especially for things like the terminal, sidebar, etc. Multi Monitor support is by far not the only reason for wanting this feature. Why vote it down just because you wouldn't use it? As I understand it, the use case is to support multiple monitors better. From my understanding, the team would have to change lot of the infrastructure to make this work. 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. Open your project folder It's essentially a new instance of VSCode in same workspace. Maintaining the context of the underlying buffer (file) in both these windows is the issue. That's not the solution. 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. Kiddo, do you live behind the moon or are you just trolling? Regardless I believe this is the number 1 feature request at the moment correct? I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. Just adding my support to this. Happy coding! Floating tabs/editors is a must especially when working with dual monitor setup. VS Code is quite amazing tool. 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. +1 Agreed, would love to be able to drag out my tabs into their own windows. When GPU acceleration is enabled, custom rendering, rather than the font, improves how some characters display in the terminal. 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. The lack of this feature is a huge issue for those with multiple monitors (basically everyone who works with code). @Blackbaud-DustinLunsford thanks for a simple workaround, @n9 I think the communication between both windows is solvable but the other issues remain that I stated, specifically the fact that each window has its own DOM and that all our services need to talk to the same backend from every window. https://gearburn.com/2016/06/space-vr-app-turns-the-htc-vive-oculus-rift-into-a-productivity-hub/ @tavuntu @Krzysztof-Cieslak I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. I will have to agree with the comments above. In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. I imagine there's still internal discussion going on. I feel that Xcode does this really well if you're looking for inspiration. Hope we will get this eventually, this is a must have :). is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". Select WSL Bash (NOT Git Bash) from the options. For example: If you wanted to open a project folder in VSCode, its easy with the command prompt. FWIW, I use 4 monitors side-by-side. You've paid nothing for it. There's no such thing as a "main" window in Xcode. Runtime profiling for .NET, SQL Server tools, a massive test management system, Azure tools (MSs cloud), built-in task/PR/issue tracking to recall a few off the top of my head. _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. As others have mentioned, no one can really begin work a feature as significant as this until there is some assurance that the work will be accepted. Please stop suggesting "Duplicate workspace". Remove every plugins and just give one code window? Navigate between terminals in a group by focusing the previous pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Left), or the next pane, (Windows, Linux Alt+Right). Not really. +1. @kapalkat to clarify, this issue is about detaching parts of the UI, such as the terminal, explorer and debugger, from the main window. I think this issue should be frozen / restricted until someone can actually work on it (from VSCode team). nvm (Node Version Manager) users often see this error for the first time inside VS Code's integrated terminal: This is mostly a macOS problem and does not happen in external terminals. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc%20label%3Afeature-request. The right-click behavior differs based on the platform: This can be configured using the terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior setting. This feature really should be a high priority feature. @algiuxass Same here. In real world we need see much more than only left/right/bottom panel, this solution https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecomment-335013296 is great. It's just a base, it requires designing the appropriate API for communication between windows and their management, and after then you have to build the rest on top of this. That is for sure. It was the Language Server Protocol that attracted me to VSCode in the first place. Hi, Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list. Thanks for the answers. This helps the terminal work faster and display at a high FPS by significantly reducing the time the CPU spends rendering each frame. To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut to toggle the terminal panel. I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. This would not be movable outside of that WebView but at least you can freely position it within that. 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. A definitive must have on split screen 1 portrait, 1 landscape. Do peer-reviewers ignore details in complicated mathematical computations and theorems? Some developers use VS Code as a standalone terminal by opening a new window, maximizing the panel, and hiding the side bar. i love VSCode. Word links: This is the fallback link type and uses the terminal.integrated.wordSeparators setting to define word boundaries and make nearly all text into words. VSCode is a complex program, they cannot patch functionnalities on the core, or it would became a nightmare to maintain and improve ( just clone the repo to see what the hell is happening inside the beast ), My guesses (I may be wrong): "Open new window and drag and drop your file from the current workspace/window to the newly opened window.". 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. Implementing it at core can make all windows capable of frameless 'existence' like in Visual Studio 2015, 2017, WebStorm etc. 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. How to use Visual Studio Code as default editor for git? I must see only code. :). Maybe MS could help out, in their copious amounts of time :). Dragging a tab into the main terminal area allows moving a terminal from one group to another. Thanks for the votes!! I've been doing some research on the floating windows problem (My knowledge with electron is almost non-existent) . "You can't read several file at one and keep focus" I can see no progress on this feature and few years past. 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. Following this thread for long time and still not having it late march 2018 (almost 2 years) is such a pitty. Obviously you can work around it by opening specific files in a separate (ctrl + shift + N) Visual Studio Code instance, but it's definitely something that should be addressed as soon as possible. People are downvoting because you add nothing to the discussion yet everyone subscribed to this issue gets your comment as an email. The problem is, these guys are not giving an answer and even if they have a good reason not to implement this, their silence tell us they just don't care about this request. Would it not be better to build it in now, when the overall system is relatively simpler ? No roadmap no milestone no promises, whats happening ! Any chance since MS owns github and essentially the electron project this will actually see the light of day? . If VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! Is it OK to ask the professor I am applying to for a recommendation letter? 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. 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. Also, if it proves to have this effect on workstations, have the opportunity to turn this feature off entirely. 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. Multiple terminals can be placed side-by-side are called a group and are created by splitting a terminal: Tip: The working directory for the new terminal depends on the terminal.integrated.splitCwd setting. I couldn't imagine anyone arguing that. 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. I'm trying to move off JetBeans and this isn't an optional or nice-to-have feature. 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. @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 make chocolate safe for Keidran? I'm trying to move off JetBeans and this isn't an optional or nice-to-have feature. You are currently in a difficult situation to somehow solve it, without corruption everything that has been created so far, but the earlier you take this challenge the better for everyone, after spends of more time and the writing of more code may be too late for such change. My mistake. It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. But that is my perspective. Yeah, I'd say this feature falls firmly in the "Happy coding" category. I would suspect this implies some heavy rewriting of a bunch of core features. How else should developers get info on what user base wants? I use Code in one monitor and my browsers and emulators in the other screen. Site design / logo 2023 Stack Exchange Inc; user contributions licensed under CC BY-SA. This normally means that the program/shell running inside the terminal requested to turn on "bracketed paste mode" but something doesn't support it properly. @Krzysztof-Cieslak One thing it is not, is IDE. The last time I downloaded it was a couple of months ago and it's size was about 7 or 8 GB back then. Irrelevant https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager. Trolling / name calling / arguing gets us nowhere. I'm confident this is the design decision behind it but I'd be interesting to know otherwise. This feature can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.altClickMovesCursor setting. This is only done when the shell does not support "bracketed paste mode". 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. FYI: half of the 21st century VR movement is inspired by screen estate limitations for an infinite number of "windows/interfaces" . All rights belong to their respective owners. Yeah, calling me kiddo living behind the moon won you this discussion! So? That said, I don't know if I'd find it useful. I think 8 months are more than enough time to at least give us a hint on what to expect. One of the reason i still use Eclipse over VS code. To use terminals in the editor area, there are several options: Create via the Create Terminal in Editor Area command. @BentOnCoding I agree that the lack of this feature is incomprehensible, but as you said they chose a framework that is not completely suitable to building IDEs, so adding this feature would be a major effort and it looks like they are not willing to make it. : The Backlog-Link (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/8) here in the right panel does not work?). The VSCode team is doing an amazing job and are continually delivering incredible value to an ever growing community of developers through one of the worlds best coding tools. 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. Any help is appreciated. Toggle some bits and get an actual square. Its a truly massive product. If you have an idea though, let us know. Please do not try to recomend to use Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio Enerprise, Sharp Develop, Eclipse, Jetbrains or may be Notepad. 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 too used to love to rip tabs and windows out from Visual Studio; I'm on a Mac now and using VSCode. be successful. 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. Some features have taken 2 years from when they reached prominence to when they shipped. Will it has this feature next major version? @iansan5653 Well then why put a terminal in VSCode in the first place? This was the last thing they told me about it @Hypernut, https://twitter.com/TheLoveDuckie/status/916447993594859522. My current VS Community Edition setup: For more information, please see our It is the same project and the same workspace. Been watching for this feature for a while, just adding another voice saying I really wish this would happen! This is awsome app, and I recently move from Webstorm to vscode. @Nyconing VS Does not run on linux or mac. It's fundamental to multi-monitor coding. This is a serious deficiency with VSCode as an editor. One with the code editors and another with terminal and debugger. Visual Studio 2017 dies with out of memory exception. Would love to have this feature as well. Not just that, I am not sure how much else will be affected. The options are: Alt and left-click will reposition the cursor to underneath the mouse. Would be nice to have similar to PyCharm/CLion. And some one who has a good ways to solve it? Currently I'm developing a game where you can practice and apply your programming skills to automate all kinds of machinery in challenging environments. Below are some examples of these characters with custom line height and letter spacing configured. The terminal can have problems with GPU accelerated rendering in some environments. The downside is no drag and dropping tabs between them, but otherwise it works. Similar to how dragging a tab right now lets you title the main view. By default there is a warning when pasting multiple lines, which can be disabled with the terminal.integrated.enableMultiLinePasteWarning setting. @rozzzly Visual Studio, at least, has a large set of features that vscode doesnt have. Tabs are not my priority. back-end processes as well. This feature is overdue and critical for productivity with multiple monitors, how many replies do you need to add this feature to scope? I'm sure this issue is on the team's radar (it is the number one requested feature). Most shells allow extensive customization of the terminal prompt. 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. 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. 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! Like others who mentioned it in this thread, multi-monitor coding kinda requires detachables. Everyone now telling the duplicate workspace stuff, but that's sure now known by everyone und doesn't need to be repeated so often. I don't see any reasonable discussion around possible implications of the different ways of implementing such feature. https://github.com/electron-utils/electron-dockable. It's such a basic feature, I first thought the missing of the floating window was a bug :'), @Aetherall I thought the same thing! How? In neither case do I actually want a floating window such as in Visual Studio. And this whole "workaround" is not even practical, we need a real floating window feature like it's implemented in other editors. If no text is selected in the active editor, the entire line that the cursor is on will run in the terminal. The world isn't perfect, make the best of what we have and get the job done. Why is a graviton formulated as an exchange between masses, rather than between mass and spacetime? Running Move Terminal into Editor Area with a terminal focused. Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. I am surprised to see that this still hasn't been added. I am not sure why the delay? Any plans when this will be added to a release-circle? This feature ensures that text is readable regardless of the shell and theme used which is not possible otherwise. Perhaps bade it upon that? 800 upvotes now! 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. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. Left screen: Closely thing to this right now is "zen mode".. but it's not nearly the same experience. This is done by injecting arguments and/or environment variables when the shell session launches. It is just limited by the current architecture. 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? https://hackernoon.com/using-a-react-16-portal-to-do-something-cool-2a2d627b0202. This is an OSS. It needs to be implemented. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. I've just found this project https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow which allow use BrowserWindow without specific HTML file. Vscode is awesome and it will be more awesome with this fonctionality! In fact, it's the only feature that stops me using VS Code exclusively. I hope you'll aim for releasing this feature step by step and you won't sit on plans. Xcode allows for multiple windows for a project. Tip: Also run the active file using the command workbench.action.terminal.runActiveFile. This feature has been requested for years nowPlease implement it. To the VS code team, please never "fix" this bug (unless you add multi-window support ofc). showing unit tests and client and server output) - so I can use the first screen fullscreen without having to open and close the side panel all the time. 2 years since it was requested.
