This feature request recently celebrated it's second birthday. _(Most)_ of the people in this thread are not complaining "I want this." New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, Scan this QR code to download the app now. We do not host any of the videos or images on our servers. Don't double post please. This is a free product, and Microsoft owes us nothing. to perform the same as Ctrl+C. EDIT: Apparently somebody didn't get the sarcasm. 2 years since it was requested. This approach would be greatly appreciated in VS Code. Anyway, the point is: there is high demand NOW and it is absolutely being ignored. Don't double post please. Thanks for the answers. But hey, macOS Touch Bar support is there. Webstorm/Phpstorm both have this feature, and it is really the main thing that I like about those apps. Well if I could work on my SPA efficiently and my web api backend in Visual Studio I wouldn't need VS Code either. What an absurd discussion tell me if I am correct. In that case, let's consider terminal in floating window. 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). 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. The terminal.integrated.defaultLocation setting can change the default terminal location to be in either the view or editor areas. Some statuses involve animation. 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. This will temporarily hide the editors and maximize the panel. How do I collapse sections of code in Visual Studio Code for Windows? No response. 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. I see editor tabs as more important than the others. 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. It is my biggest desire to see added with vscode. Thanks VSCode Team (and whoever worked on this). In main monitor, back-end; in the 2nd, the front-end. 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. The same functionality can't be achieved by spawning a new process, because, AIUI, for languages that have LSP-based tooling, the two processes could not both talk to the same language server, so you'd only have the LSP-based features in one of them. We only need 88 more votes to make it to the top 10. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. 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. or maybe they just don't want to make too strong competition for Visual Studio ;-}. Any plans when this will be added to a release-circle? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3527695/31317649-71a530b2-ac4d-11e7-9531-6fe2d4a2e967.gif, Support: Adding my request for this feature as well. https://github.com/electron-utils/electron-dockable. @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". When I try to open the same workspace in Mac OSX it always just focuses the already open window. Also from main workspace window we as developers could create a bridge service, that would listen from child duplicated workspaces events, and main workspace window could interact with that. I do not think we can expect this feature anytime in the near feature. 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. These will open the system browser at that location. The lack of this feature is a huge issue for those with multiple monitors (basically everyone who works with code). For example: If you wanted to open a project folder in VSCode, its easy with the command prompt. These commands do not have default keyboard shortcuts. terminal.integrated.fontFamily: The font family to use, this takes a string in the format that fontFamily in CSS takes. (). Why does secondary surveillance radar use a different antenna design than primary radar? Perhaps I'll look closer into the sources and figure out if this would be a good way of doing it. Having the option to use this or not would be much better than not having a choice at all, quite frankly. Hover the icon to read status information, which may contain actions. @JustinAddams That what I am doing right now, Also would be nice to have adjusted view configuration for duplicated workspace view. I still don't get it why you are against it. At this point, it is the missing feature that is keeping me from using VS Code full time. Crossing my fingers to have it available hopefully soon. @bpasero has given his latest feedback in this comment above: #10121 (comment) You can do this in Xcode by either tearing a tab off or using File-> New Window. It should allow us to open multiple windows with the same workspace/project. Visual Studio Code provides Windows Powershell for the command line when the terminal is started. Would love to have this feature as well. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux on your Windows 10 machine. Perhaps people voting on this should go check that one out! +1 privacy statement. Why vote it down just because you wouldn't use it? I doubt it'll ever get implemented :(. 12:22 Uhr: @Deltatiger https://github.com/Deltatiger Is this shipped already? This is free software. Besides, it's not always the code you keep watching. "Ctrl + K then O" By default, the terminal will open at the folder that is opened in the Explorer. // Mark as the default build task so cmd/ctrl+shift+b will create them, // The name that shows up in terminal tab, // Mark as a background task to avoid the spinner animation on the terminal tab, nvm is not compatible with the npm config, `nvm use --delete-prefix v8.9.1 --silent`, npm -> ../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js, npx -> ../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js, rm /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js, rm /usr/local/bin/npx /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js, cat > ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict, "terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio", Configure IntelliSense for cross-compiling. Irrelevant https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-window-manager. 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. This is a serious deficiency with VSCode as an editor. To continue innovating, and make VSCode a modern full-featured editor, this is a necessity. However the fact that there isn't any indication of activity on this request is just ridiculous at this point. Why? This is an OSS. Can't we have Electron=multiple windows+single node.js in one process? It is really time consuming to click and resize a window to see the content. 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. 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. 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. Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it. I give up. Ill try.. versus if the feature is built in later, when code would have become more complex due to "required features". They probably want to implement a functionality to maximum performance/RAM usage ratio but it's very complex because of their custom build of Electron and complex core. I fully agree that it would be a great feature, but really guys give the nice folks from vscode some rest. Looking through these comments, it seems I am not alone in this view. The default terminal profile shell defaults to $SHELL on Linux and macOS and PowerShell on Windows. I typically would open e.g. I haven't seen commits in awhile, not sure if he hit a snag or just got busy. This feature really should be a high priority feature. @iansan5653 that's my case: The actual APP could just be a "container" for multiple canvas that can be rearranged inside. Its hard to believe that its been 2 years and there has been so little progress on this. YES! _however, hopes are getting lower and lower as time moves on_ _or is it?_) - hopefully something will happen in regards to this problem. I know that it is OSS. The default terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration value of "auto" tries the WebGL, canvas, and DOM renderers sequentially, settling at the first without detected issues. The integrated terminal can use various shells installed on your machine, with the default being pulled from your system defaults. Running duplicate language services and language servers can create racing conditions and heavy HDD/SSD usage with accessing same files, especially with tools that use project wide analysis. If you have an idea though, let us know. Yet you don't have an offline uninstaller for an 8GB installer! Really hard to utilize two monitors when you can't breakout a tab. I am sure the demand suddenly came into existence "last December". Additionally you don't need butter anymore, which makes life definitively cheaper. First thing i noticed missing when switching. That doesn't mean that I'm not extremely irritated that this feature isn't even on the radar. I am not sure why the delay? You are receiving this because you commented. 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, @faustinoaq Yes. 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 There are some internal problems bei GitHub itself. So this isn't something that is in the catagory of; "Oh, I never thought of that!". See the attached gif below. Nah, by now they are used to ignoring the issue. @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. There is already much to do on VSCode, to improve the current user experience without adding more complexity. @RoyTinker "I keep one of my 22" monitors vertically oriented. Flake it till you make it: how to detect and deal with flaky tests (Ep. It's crititcal functionality, Especially for multi monitor setup. I am not sure why the delay? Please do not try to recomend to use Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio Enerprise, Sharp Develop, Eclipse, Jetbrains or may be Notepad. If I were working on a git project, I could see how my current workflow of opening a new window and dragging files there would only allow me to take folder/git actions from the original window. _Probable solution: Open new instance of VSCode instead of implementation of frameless windows, but add a command line option to let it use first instance's shared extensions (Problem: Extension host can be shared or is tied to instance?)._. Powerline fonts typically end in " for Powerline", the following setting is an example of how to configure a DejaVu Sans Mono that has been patched: Nerd Fonts work the same and typically have a " NF" suffix, the following is an example of how to configure Hack's nerd fonts variant: The terminal cursor style and whether it blinks can be customized with the following settings: Terminal tabs appear on the right of the terminal view when there are two or more terminals by default, showing the active terminal in the view header when there is only one. 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. Add a reaction to the original post and that'll be enough, no need to comment out the dreaded +1 comment. Wow, This is the most wanted feature by far! (To vote, add a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment. @belst and others see this comment, given the current design it's quite difficult to implement this feature. -- It was the third thing I tried to do in VS Code (right after changing the theme to light, so that I could see the menus, and installing the mssql extensions). That said, I don't know if I'd find it useful. That is for sure. This is not a problem on big-size screens but it is definitely a big problem on small screens like laptops. I suggest floating windows option for: This way we could take advantage of large screen space and / or multi monitors. Remove terminal instances by hovering a tab and selecting the Trash Can button, selecting a tab item and pressing Delete, using Terminal: Kill the Active Terminal Instance command, or via the right-click context menu. I'm not an Electron guy of any sorts, but I've tinkered around with it a little bit. But that is my perspective. But a bit of a warning: keep in mind vscode is mainly a text editor! The right-click behavior differs based on the platform: This can be configured using the terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior setting. We continue to use VS 2017 - even with all of it's obvious fagility. The currently integrated terminal docked to the panel right now but this usage is narrowing the editor window and it is difficult to examine logs on the terminal. Is there an estimation for when the top 3 features will have been implemented? Floating windows get lost, I just want a new window @inarius see @christopher-howard's comment above. Like others who mentioned it in this thread, multi-monitor coding kinda requires detachables. Why the down votes @minajevs, @djm158, and @JustinAddams? You can't read several file at one and keep focus. That's that. I strongly support the request of this feature. For instance, open the directory for your app in one window, and the 'public' folder in the other window. One of the reason i still use Eclipse over VS code. Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list. This ticket is about opening two windows in THE SAME workspace. I've tried to check what we could do with floating windows in VSC. Just adding my support to this. As a result of this issue, I have moved on to contributing to Language Server Protocol support in Eclipse instead. I, too would like to drag code tabs to desktop to edit in a new window. I'm confident this is the design decision behind it but I'd be interesting to know otherwise. So the reference in the Iteration Plan #47369 is just a joke about getting a 4k monitor rather than a plan to support this? frustrated? The "app" is an OS-specific container that The single most useful reason to have multiple windows is to debug across server (node) and client (Angular). ++ 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). Some prompts like Starship and oh-my-posh show things like git status and work with most shells, so they're a good choice when starting out. 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. Title: VSCode Add Multi-Monitor / Multi Workspace Support. How to change the default terminal profile in Visual Studio Code It is certainly lightweight when you don't install 1000 plugins. Thanks! All windows where you can navigate your project or edit code are equal. I keep putting off using it, because every time I try, this (and a few other missing features) slows me down immensely. This should be done at the beginning, when you start writing this editor. We all have different needs and you should not say others opinions are worthless. :) It's like putting a note on your bathroom mirror. Got some great news for anyone else who (like me) didn't know: looks like this feature is already (mostly) implemented. I think this issue should be frozen / restricted until someone can actually work on it (from VSCode team). That's easy part. and linking to this issue. If we stuck by architectural limitation that cost too much to make it happen, Why not just close it and going forward. I hope that makes sense. I agree with the "let's not make this compete with Visual Studio" comment. But I still find it pleasant. Hope it didn't come across that way. that is how we feel. The silence is odd for an open source project, but unfortunately typical for a company like Microsoft. 1.) Will this be implemented anytime soon? 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). To subscribe to this RSS feed, copy and paste this URL into your RSS reader. 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.
