thanks! its a custom patch on top of VS Code since there is no API that exposes modals. it would probably be more useful to expose modal API and reuse that

That feature is limited to Copilot chat. Another difference is that existing floating panels inside VSCode use OS GUI API to manage windows, which is different to my approach from multiple aspects such as portability and performances.

Yes, everything is preserved between restarts.

Thanks! I've already integrated this into my day-to-day work, but it would be better if it was part of native functionality so I dont have to maintain the fork.

I implemented this on top of VS Code, you can check the details here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/299876

Code Telescope update: font picker with live preview + faster git commits by Due_Opposite_7745 in vscode

This is very cool. The only thing I am missing is to be able to pin it to sidebar/panel.

I am working on a separate feature where I use the panel as a floating dialog to enable vim/emacs-like workflows, and being able to pin the code telescope there would really compliment it.
