come on guys this was already requested from day one. This helps the terminal work faster and display at a high FPS by significantly reducing the time the CPU spends rendering each frame. rev2023.1.17.43168. The workaround (open new window and drag and drop your file from the current workspace/window to the newly opened one) is OK but I have no access to the workspace itself; different settings, no access to other files in the workspace, etc. We are happy to use new awesome IDE, and we are popular, isn't it? From here, you can type "terminal". I haven't seen commits in awhile, not sure if he hit a snag or just got busy. 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. At first you can't possibly ignore it, but after a while you don't even see it anymore. That would require the VSCode team to publicly discuss a plan for implementing this highly requested functionality. VsCode is a great IDE, but the lack of this feature in 2018 when we all have multiple monitors is just embarrassing. Open workspace in one window and project folder in the other. Now imagine you you have an editor where you type in and you want to drag it out to produce a new window, you would expect that operation to be very fast and lightweight. Specifically editor tabs. I'd say that undocking tabs (editors more specifically) is a _must have_ rather than _eventually_ type of task. You can help and contribute your skills to VSCode. +1 Libraries like electron-window-manager seem to make this a little bit easier, but after all there is a ton of work involved, to outline some: I would not say that this is technically impossible but what I can say is that this feature request is both very challenging because of the UI impact and because of the fundamental change it requires to each aspect of what we have today. @belst and others see this comment, given the current design it's quite difficult to implement this feature. "You can currently see 3 files, one vertical panel (debugger, git, search, explorer) and horizontal panel at the same time", nice try, but you know what I mean, I mean a maximized window with a CSS file in one monitor and a maximized window with HTML in another one that's far better than having a lot of uncomfortably panels in the same monitor. 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. They have to create a new windows each time you drag a tab into it's own window, and obviously this isn't an easy thing to do. I think tabs need to be free to move anywhere, just like Google Chrome tabs do. If you really want VSCode featured in multiple windows, why not try to fork and make it possible by yourself? is bound to "Open Active File in New Window", Just my 2 cents Floating windows get lost, I just want a new window @inarius see @christopher-howard's comment above. 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. 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. Back on track now Just my 2 cents I doubt it'll ever get implemented :(. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/24/andreessen-horowitz-london-virtual-reality-startup-improbable We made it! I think 8 months are more than enough time to at least give us a hint on what to expect. 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. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. We should remind ourselves that this is a free software ;). 87 7. And this whole "workaround" is not even practical, we need a real floating window feature like it's implemented in other editors. I'm not an electron developer so idk if this is a limitation of electron apps or if it can be done. Only 68 more votes and this will be in the top 5 feature requests. Imagine: You get in a taxi and tell the driver your destination. It would a great feature, if the performance doesn't go down because of it. Until VS Code has multiple display support I do not see moving to this editor as my default. Creating a File in VSCode using Terminal There are primarily two methods to create a file in VSCode using the terminal, you can use the "Code" keyword to create a file, or you can use the "echo" keyword to create a new file. Yeah, calling me kiddo living behind the moon won you this discussion! That's not the solution. (you'll also have to close the tab you dragged from). "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, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. Mindless +1 spam will definitely help your cause. The world isn't perfect, make the best of what we have and get the job done. Hi, Sometimes this detection doesn't work and requires manual intervention, setting terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration to "dom" typically resolves rendering-related problems like these at the cost of performance. IMO, this is not what happens when you open two browsers and drag and drop tabs between them? If VS code's UX functioned like atom's I would make the switch. Note: Open an external terminal with the C (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+C) keyboard shortcut if you prefer to work outside VS Code. I feel that Xcode does this really well if you're looking for inspiration. There is already much to do on VSCode, to improve the current user experience without adding more complexity. Yehya Abouelnaga notifications@github.com schrieb am Fr., 8. 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. Window code in portrait - Tools on landscape, I'd love to see this feature coming anytime soon . 2 years since it was requested. Terminal Basics Visual Studio Code includes a full featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. I will have to agree with the comments above. But hey, macOS Touch Bar support is there. That is all I am asking for. Op 5 okt. This is very important. This is useful to temporarily focus on a large amount of output. Nothing wrong with a work around since we don't have a solution. Only works with files; not on terminal windows. An example of this is the GitLens extension detecting Git branch links. Any idea would be helpful! However, I would settle for any ability to quickly move/open something in a new window, such as a right-click menu option. I often use WebStorm (which has such feature). This feature really should be a high priority feature. 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, We're developers, a lot of us would understand a technical reason. Thanks for the question! It looks like wanting this feature correlate with not having ability to use GH correctly nor behaving well in the internet discussion. The last time I downloaded it was a couple of months ago and it's size was about 7 or 8 GB back then. See the GPU acceleration section for more information. Visual Studio Code includes a full featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. no status bar, no activity bar, only editor tabs), allow extensions to register interest/disinterest in "editor-only" windows, add (internal) API option to open a file in an editor tab with a specified (unsaved) buffer on a newly created window. As is, I keep installing VS code, loving almost everything and eventually uninstalling when I realize the UX still hasn't been updated. 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 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. Also please remember this is an open-source project. #2686 deals with multiple windows with the same workspace. Once your terminal is open, you can open VS Code from it by typing $ code . i would love to detach debugger console so as to view on 2nd monitor. Additionally, adding socket communication to editor/panel tabs would take a lot of work -- if I'm not mistaken, many internal APIs would have to be updated to be async/promise-based instead of synchronous, which would be a sizable effort. It would be ideal to have this for some text editing as well. Hes a core VSCode team member. In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. You wait a minute, confused why you're not moving and ask, "can we get going?" Apparently guys at JetBrains know the best way to do it. can't vscode do the same with code tabs this way? Having the option to use this or not would be much better than not having a choice at all, quite frankly. 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! Not really. "Open new window and drag and drop your file from the current workspace/window to the newly opened window.". That means we're realizing a flaw to GitHub's reaction system. https://hackernoon.com/using-a-react-16-portal-to-do-something-cool-2a2d627b0202. 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. it seems so obvious as a feature, even in the most minimalistic editor. 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". It is a pity that this seemingly has no high priority. This should be done at the beginning, when you start writing this editor. 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. 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 I can't open directly into a new window then I need to be able to tear off a tab into a new window or to be able to drag a tab to a separate VSCode window (as created with FileNew Window), Im using a WYSIWYG viewer plugin for editing AsciiDocs. This is a must to have UI feature. 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. @iansan5653 that's my case: _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md, @Trevinlc1997 The recommended workaround is to tell macOS to no-op for these keybindings by running this in your terminal: By default, the integrated terminal will render using GPU acceleration on most machines. Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. Sounds great? I think that we should try to do VSC more modular and prepare some kind of multi-window mechanism before we start work on floating windows with single UI parts. Some developers use VS Code as a standalone terminal by opening a new window, maximizing the panel, and hiding the side bar. anyone with a multi-monitor setup who tries to drag an editor tab out of the window has felt the pang of disappointment seeing it pop back where it came from. The integrated terminal can use various shells installed on your machine, with the default being pulled from your system defaults. TIL, dragging tabs onto another vscode window opens the file on that window too. no feature or workflow requires that you use them), so I don't see how it's a bad UX choice, even from the viewpoint of folks who don't want to use them. Tabs movement should spawn a new process in a new window. This feature is overdue and critical for productivity with multiple monitors, how many replies do you need to add this feature to scope? It shouldn't be misused as a general webbrowser or media tool or something like that. 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. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. 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. Your tip made me found the PDFs below and made me make the lists/screenshots below as well. VS Code's terminal renders some of the Powerline symbols without needing to configure a font, but if more glyphs are desired, configure a Powerline font with the font family setting. 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. +1 for me. Any plans when this will be added to a release-circle? For people who suggest opening another window. If this doesn't get added to the vscode roadmap soon, I think I'll find a new IDE. Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list. No Im going to use it as a preview panel :). 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. 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. 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. Everybody clap your hands for @mrmos and his solution. VS Code is quite amazing tool. "Ctrl + K then O" 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. Condescending tone does not fix bugs. Floating tabs/editors is a must especially when working with dual monitor setup. The "app" is an OS-specific container that Crossing my fingers to have it available hopefully soon. Which it is not. It should be draggable up and down around the left corner. This feature ensures that text is readable regardless of the shell and theme used which is not possible otherwise. But at this point, the more than one year activity of this issue speaks for itself. Im trying to make a VSCode extension and is it possible to create a small window on top of the main window? For now I have to manually resize window to fit my two monitors (red line is edge of monitor) which is not comfortable. We all know the limitations of the platform, we try to give relevance to the topic so Microsoft team gives importance to the issue. Have a question about this project? If electron has a way to open, read, and write sockets, this approach might very beginning. 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. Visual Studio 2017 handles this quite well for dragging out tabs to become new windows so hopefully we see something like that in the near future. And thanks @D1no, now I want an Oculus Rift so I can have 17 virtual monitors :). +1. Thanks! I was seriously beginning to fall for VS code as, on the whole, it is an awesome IDE. This would really be super useful for multi-monitor productivity. Trolling / name calling / arguing gets us nowhere. We only need 88 more votes to make it to the top 10. The split pane functionality is nice but not the same. My current VS Community Edition setup: :) It's like putting a note on your bathroom mirror. (To vote, add a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment. For example: If you wanted to open a project folder in VSCode, its easy with the command prompt. I'm not entirely sure the "this may prove to be too taxing on computers" argument is valid as of late considering most recent computers have much more system resources than previously. However the fact that there isn't any indication of activity on this request is just ridiculous at this point. 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. I want it to spawn a new copy of VSCode. This feature is on the backlog, but it's ranked #14 when sorting feature requests by number of upvotes:
