CODECOMPOSER: Editor layout

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER


Tool/software:

Hi,

Is it possible to split the left/right panels in CCS20 Theia vertically as was in CCS12? See image.

  • Hello,

    Note with the primary and secondary side panels (which are toggled by the views docked in the Activity Bars) cannot be split. You would have to drag the views out of the side panels. Views that are outside the side plans can be split.

    Thanks

  • ok. got it. thanks.

    Also, is it possible to split the 'watch' from the 'debug' view on to a separate window?

    This is not possible. It is a limitation of the Theia IDE that CCS is based on.

    Your request has been raised before. It is something we can look at down the road but there is no short term solution. 

  • Working with this layout (explorer window is in a separate view and not on the side panel), when you double-click a file in the explorer list to open it for editing it opens in the same view window of the explorer and not on the source view window where all other code files are opened (the main window in the center). Any way to fix that?

  • This is a known limitation with Theia IDE. File opened from the Explorer will appear in the currently active editor group (the one where the Explorer is docked or last focused). There is no built-in setting to always open files in a specific (original) editor group regardless of the Explorer’s location or focus.

  • Must say this is quite frustrating. I hope TI will look into it.

    Anyway, thanks again for your prompt response.

    We are looking into it. but please note that this behavior is inherited from Theia IDE so it is not we can easily change on our own.
