The VS Code team has an issue tag for further capability requests around floating editor windows here: github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aworkbench-auxwindow
Oh good question! Just checked on Windows and it treats the tabs as separate windows from the main VS Code window. When I alt tab I have to find them individually.
Can’t win them all I guess! I mean I SHOULD be more organised but I usually have about 5-10 instances open at any one time! And then there’s the million browser tabs. Luckily workbench locks me down to 1 instance!
I'm not sure I understand properly. Are you talking about being able to change the width of the activity bar where the file explorer, source control, debugger, etc. views are found? If so that'd be interesting to have.
That's a bummer to hear. I've tried it briefly but don't have a ton of experience with it. What specifically is the problem you're running into with it?
This is what VS Code users consider to be a big deal? Every time I've gone to use VS Code, I've found it to be the most confusing and difficult development environment. The VS Code user interface is extremely confusing. I've never been able to get the debugger to work. Commenting and uncommenting code requires me to memorize some bizarre hot key combination or else look through the menus. The only reason I ever try to use VS Code is because some businesses use it and so I need to adapt to it for job security. Otherwise, I would never use VS Code. Visual Studio, on the other hand, has been a delight and is the only thing Microsoft has made which I like.

Pretty epic! Does it bring all the tabs to the front if you alt tab? If not I can see myself losing a lot of tabs!

@@JonathanHeavyside haha well you're not alone in that. I definitely have a bunch of tabs open in VS Code and my browser at one time 😅
this is absolutely amazing, thanks for showing it off!
Glad you like it!
Meanwhile, me still waiting for the default sidebar width setting...

Why did it take 7 years? I can't think of another application that uses tags which doesn't allow you to do this.
I’m still looking into that but it seems like it was due to a limitation in Electron.js for a while
How to bring terminal in editor view ?
There are a few ways. The quickest way is the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ` for Windows and Linux or CMD + ` for macOS
Wow that lol forever. It’s been pretty frustrating to use without that
Hey at least it's here now and they're going to iterate on it
Cool!
Im waiting for window native tab.
Nice. I'm not sure I understand though. Do you mean it shows up as a new clickable window in the Window's taskbar?
i have a lot of problems with Remote SSH extension, if they fix it at some point (i hope), that i will finally say that yes, vs code is the best

I hear ya and that's a fair opinion. Outside of Visual Studio is there another editor you prefer? How do you feel it excels beyond VS Code?
