vscode-windows vscode-windows is a VSCode extension that lets you open multiple floating Monaco editors in a single panel. Each editor window is draggable, resizable, and supports zooming and panning across the workspace. ⚠️ Important: These are Monaco editors embedded in a webview, not native VSCode editors. You cannot apply your VSCode theme fully, and some editor features/settings may not work. The extension only approximates the VSCode look.

Features

• Multiple floating editor windows in one panel
• Draggable and resizable windows
• Pan and zoom the workspace
• Automatic language detection based on file extension
• Real-time synchronization with VSCode documents
• Undo/redo within each Monaco editor

How it Works

• The extension creates a webview panel containing Monaco editors.
• Each editor is independent but updates are sent to the VSCode workspace in real-time.
• Floating editors are confined to the webview and cannot become native VSCode tabs.

Limitations

• You cannot fully apply VSCode themes or color customizations; the extension approximates colors using CSS variables.
• Editors do not support all VSCode extensions or editor settings.
• Floating editors exist only inside the webview panel.

Commands

• Open Windows: Opens the floating Monaco window panel for the active editor.

Usage

1. Install the extension.
2. Open a file in VSCode.
3. Run the command Open Windows from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
4. Drag, resize, and edit multiple floating Monaco windows simultaneously.
