CODECOMPOSER: Code Composer Studio V20.1.1 How to open files in a new window ?

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

Hello,

I recently installed the "new" code composer studio (Theia based platform) and I can't find how to open a file in a new window.

I would like to open one window per monitor and sometimes drag and drop some file editor tabs from one to another.

Open a new instance may not be the solution because drag and drop is not possible, probably because the two instances are fully independent.

Version: 20.1.1.8__1.7.1   Default VS Code API: 1.92.2


Thanks for your help.
Regards

Alexandre.

  • Hello Alexandre,

    I assume you are referring to the functionality that prior CCS Eclipse based versions supported where you could detach a view and float it outside the main IDE to another monitor, etc. This feature is not supported in Theia/20 due to limitations of the Theia IDE that current CCS version are based on.

  • Hello,

    Thanks for your answer.
    I thought this was possible, as it is implemented on many (maybe all) modern IDEs.
    I hope it will be added soon.
