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. I cannot, however, consider it a serious contender for professional development without multi-screen support. This is very important. Not really. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. I must see only code. Like others have said, opening in a new window isn't what were asking for or wanting. @WNemencha I'm assuming the team doesn't want any unnecessary dependencies. One downside of this is that colored text may sometimes lose some of its saturation. [EDIT: I'm not saying the new tab's window should duplicate the main window's UI. Perhaps bade it upon that? Find centralized, trusted content and collaborate around the technologies you use most. Thus I configure the IDE to appear as follow: Could I live without it? Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. I think about great deal of developers have more than one monitor and using them effectively is a big win for productivity. This feature is overdue and critical for productivity with multiple monitors, how many replies do you need to add this feature to scope? 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. I wait eagerly with every comment on this issue to hear a relevant update only to see more of the aforementioned comments. privacy statement.

Mindless +1 spam will definitely help your cause. It's fundamental to multi-monitor coding. Only 68 more votes and this will be in the top 5 feature requests. 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. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. See the attached gif below. This is the most wanted feature ever :dancer: I'm working with 3 monitors, and I need to have this feature, because sometimes in the code I need to see what functions that I need to implement from one file, and I need to open this in a separate window to copy paste what I want instead of splitting the window inside one monitor that can limit the work space area. This is a must to have UI feature. How (un)safe is it to use non-random seed words? Otherwise I'm probably not the best person to ask. @mlewand this is no area where we expect a PR due to technical limitations. Navigate between terminal groups using focus next ] (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageDown) and focus previous [ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+PageUp). I am sure the demand suddenly came into existence "last December". I hope we can quit discussing what obligations this tool has to implement certain features. 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 guess I can understand that. It's expensive, it will make application maintenance harder, it will prevent users focusing code. Thanks! So this is at least slightly different from any community project people do for fun and in their spare time. In fact, it's the only feature that stops me using VS Code exclusively. i love VSCode. Benjamin Pasero has responded several times. This is important when referencing code, but also for things like Markdown Preview. This is useful to temporarily focus on a large amount of output. Tried it a few times. Is there an estimation for when the top 3 features will have been implemented? Specifically editor tabs. Thanks for the votes!! Wish GitHub would make it more obvious with a +1 button at every post than the +[Emoji]. I see editor tabs as more important than the others. I was seriously beginning to fall for VS code as, on the whole, it is an awesome IDE. @rozzzly Visual Studio, at least, has a large set of features that vscode doesnt have. @Hypernut I thought the same. Not the answer you're looking for? I'm not an electron developer so idk if this is a limitation of electron apps or if it can be done. Any help is appreciated. @bpasero @aeschli is this a feature that you'd like to get and review as a pull request? Not sure if anyone has seen this project for electron, but I'm just going to leave this here. VSCode - Open terminals in a separate window powershell visual-studio-code terminal 18,420 Solution 1 Move terminals between windows It's now possible to move terminals between windows by detaching via Terminal: Detach Session in one and attaching to another with Terminal: Attach to Session. I want it to spawn a new copy of VSCode. I will have to agree with the comments above. 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. The default visibility is designed to save horizontal space, but may not be desirable. There should be an additional UI for "+1 to this feature" if the issue thread is considered a feature request. This is the only reason that no-one on my team actually uses VS Code as their primary development platform. If VS code could implement this, it would be the perfect editor!! You can open your terminal in a few ways. Otherwise it is an absolute pleasure to work with, and far superior to Sublime and others (in my opinion). To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut to toggle the terminal panel. @belst and others see this comment, given the current design it's quite difficult to implement this feature. If this feature can be implemented, it would be awesome. @hellboy81 @belst My bad, I thought you said VS Code. I've just found this project https://github.com/illBeRoy/ElectronScriptWindow which allow use BrowserWindow without specific HTML file. Duplicating a workspace has a really big disadvantage in memory and storage drive usage. The fact that Code is an IDE doesnt mean we need to port all terrible UX choices for VS like floating panels. :). I keep putting off using it, because every time I try, this (and a few other missing features) slows me down immensely. At first you can't possibly ignore it, but after a while you don't even see it anymore. Do you have a reference that says it is supposed to be implemented in 1.11? . 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". I will just leave my two bits here as well. The amount of scrollback kept is determined by the terminal.integrated.scrollback setting and defaults to 1000 lines. To be helpful -- what would be useful to me is not just being able to open files on multiple screens, but being able to dock any kind of panel anywhere in the IDE (including popping them out to new windows which can be moved to new screens). That is all I am asking for. Very disappointed to find this feature isn't supported. Yeah, I'd say this feature falls firmly in the "Happy coding" category. On Fri, Dec 1, 2017 at 9:39 PM, Roy Tinker notifications@github.com wrote: @Rouche https://github.com/rouche VSCode is implemented in Electron, Please use to vote. This is free software. There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. Maximising exposure to information is what drives everything from multi-threading to pixel density and yes, even multi-screen & cross device applications. If I don't like bread, no one should eat it! . I recently, started using JetBrains tools as an alternative. I'm starting to need this more as the projects get bigger. I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. Activating a word link will search the workspace for the word, if there is a single result it will open, otherwise it will present the search results. Having to constantly switch between the various windows is not optimum working flow. How tabs are presented can be configured with the following settings: The text on each tab is determined by the following settings: By default, the title displays what the shell's detected process name. I'm a bit disappointed that it was never a design consideration from the But instead, it would require us to create a whole new instance of VS Code with separate extension host even in order to have the editor in a standalone window (this would be comparable to doing File > New Window and opening that file in the window). is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". ;-). I totally agree with you. I often use WebStorm (which has such feature). @inarius Sure, although that has been discussed above already (see my "20% effort/80% benefit" comment). This means that clicking and dragging will no longer create a selection. @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. +1 for me. It is my biggest desire to see added with vscode. So Vote for feature . This can be disabled with terminal.integrated.enableBell and the duration can be configured with terminal.integrated.bellDuration. @RoyTinker Perhaps we can discuss the merits of floating in-process versus separate instances? So the reference in the Iteration Plan #47369 is just a joke about getting a 4k monitor rather than a plan to support this? @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). I just want to voice my opinion on this. The terminal.integrated.defaultLocation setting can change the default terminal location to be in either the view or editor areas. or maybe they just don't want to make too strong competition for Visual Studio ;-}. If you can afford 4 monitors just for the increased productivity benefit, I assume that you can also afford spending some money on the development of such feature. to perform the same as Ctrl+C. This window dock-able feature is already is VSCode. @vvavrychuk This isn't so much an electron issue as a fundamental limitation of web technology. 1.) and linking to this issue. 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. That would require the VSCode team to publicly discuss a plan for implementing this highly requested functionality. Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. I think 8 months are more than enough time to at least give us a hint on what to expect. An easier solution to implement (?) 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. Tabs are not my priority. Click on the + icon in the terminal window. To make it clear, open a file in one workspace and open the same file in the duplicated workspace. . Mostly I just don't like the default positions of the panes and want to move them around. Save your project as a "workspace," then open up a file, use the hotkey Ctrl+K O (as I see you're on Windows) which is to show active file in new window/instance. 3.) @scriptcoded yeah it's really hard to achieve feature at this moment. Hey, yes that is a known workaround (like opening the project multiple times) and is stated above somewhere in the comments. @belst It still does allow multiple windows on the same workspace, which is an improvement on VS Code. is bound to "Open Active File in New Window". Terminals often have contrast issues due to some conflict with dark/light themes, ANSI colors or shells/programs running, and more. 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. Perhaps people voting on this should go check that one out! @tavuntu @Krzysztof-Cieslak I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. This feature really should be a high priority feature. It's sometimes really nice to edit a JS widget file there, with the corresponding HTML and CSS files in a maximized split pane on an adjacent monitor. @Krzysztof-Cieslak I think +1 is related to a vote rather than a discussion. This is a serious deficiency with VSCode as an editor. IMO, this is not what happens when you open two browsers and drag and drop tabs between them? This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes: I imagine there's still internal discussion going on. PS There are someone only give down emoji but not to try to listen other idea or give some ways about how to sovle it. When GPU acceleration is enabled, custom rendering, rather than the font, improves how some characters display in the terminal. The lack of this feature is a huge issue for those with multiple monitors (basically everyone who works with code). might be to allow a new window (CTRL+SHIFT+N) to open the SAME project (this currently isn't allowed). 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. Which would be awesome if this was built in. Xcode allows for multiple windows for a project. At this point, it is the missing feature that is keeping me from using VS Code full time. It's a bad idea to have multiple monitor support. Why does secondary surveillance radar use a different antenna design than primary radar?
