Allow Serial Monitor to be undocked from VSCODE for use on 2 monitors

MicSG-dev opened this issue · 2 comments

I would like Serial Monitor to be able to be undocked from the bottom panel of VSCODE so that I can use the extension in a new window on my other monitor.

@MicSG-dev Thank you for the request. Unfortunately, we implement our view with a WebviewViewProvider, additional docs here, and these don't support showing the webview in a file-like view.

However, you may be able to get something similar to what you want by right clicking the Serial Monitor tab and choosing a Left or Right panel position:

In the "Left" position

Closing this issue as we don't have plans for switching how we provide the views, since these are based on well-known VS Code API's, however, we hope you continue to let us know of any requests you have to continue improving the extension!

Thank you for the guidance.
