> ChatGPT-like experience in your editor with GitHub Copilot Chat
The best thing about VS Code is how you can click on the tab of the current editor and drag it out into a new self-contained window, so that you can move it to another monitor. This is such an optimal use of screen real estate.
I will drag out Copilot from the main VS Code window to my right monitor, have the main editor in the center monitor, and Google / GitHub / API docs on the left monitor.
Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
- awestroke 4y agoWhat's your point?
- magospietato 4y agoVS Code constrains a single IDE instance to a single window. Extra flyouts like Copilot chat can only exist in this window, impacting on available real-estate for the code we actually care about. It's Code's biggest weakness IMO.
- qwertox 4y agoWhy not offer parts of it as a website? The part where I chat with it, where I ask my questions and get my answers. (Maybe it could bridge into VS Code via a local server to exchange code.)
