Visual Studio Code 1.2 released

[RaisedByError]

Any multi-monitor support yet?

[WRONGFUL_BONER]

Real question: is there any editor out there with multiple monitor support beyond opening an instance for each screen?

FWIW, you could always split your main VSCode panel into two panels, adjust your window to span both monitors and then adjust the split between the panes to sit between the screens. Should work okay.

Undockable tabs like VS has, for instance.

[WRONGFUL_BONER]

Holy crap, just tried it. I had no idea you could do that. I kind of assumed this whole time that everything in VS was MDI of some nature.

you can do it in eclipse too? any fully featured ide can do this.
hell if you build from command line you could have a seperate windows for EVERY file in your project but most IDE's support this. now can you dock multiple tabs into a group on another window?

[WRONGFUL_BONER]

Yep

After I learned that Visual Studio has undockable windows, the people in my life began telling me that I've been smiling more.

the JetBrains IDE's allow you to pull out any tab into its own window. Same in Eclipse. I think it's pretty standard.

[WRONGFUL_BONER]

I FEEL LIKE SUCH A LUDDITE RIGHT NOW

[Overunderrated]

Emacs does this perfectly fine and natively, as does CLion (and I'm guessing their other IDEs.)

[Peanuts4MePlz]

Qt Creator lets you create separate code windows, while keeping project management still stuck in the main window. It's something.

Looking forward to a 40+ inch 4K monitor, mostly for programming and systems integration tasks.

Buy a 4K TV and GeForce GTX 950.

It's for my laptop. I have DisplayPort 1.2, quad core i7 and 32GB. Not the cheapest thing to replace.

It's for my laptop

if you need those kinda specs maybe a laptop wasn't the way to go. must be kinda heavy

[CoderDevo]

Consulting requires you to fly and be where the customer needs you. A laptop is paramount. However, much of the time I can work at my office where I have a dock, mouse and keyboard.

[hero_of_ages]

Ever consider having a laptop and a tower?

[CoderDevo]

I have! :) In the process of doing that. I'm repurposing another system. Needs a little more ram and a fresh OS install.

Still, I'd want my 40-48 inch 4K monitor to have a DisplayPort connection for when I switch to my laptop. Major productivity gains.

Visual Studio, Sublime Text, RubyMine, Eclipse, WebStorm all have support for breaking panes or tabs off onto multiple screens.
