Output area in separate window

[ffinger]

It would be great to be able to move the Output Area into a separate window (e.g. to make use of a second screen).

Thanks for this great package anyway!

[lgeiger]

Great idea, but unfortunately I'm not sure if this is possible, since as far as I know Atom windows run in a separate process so we cannot easily move the panel to another window.

Just wanted to back this up. That feature would be awesome when working with two screens. And yes, thanks for the package anyway (just switched from Sublime because of this great package (and the really slow Sublime R REPL)).

[ffinger]

It looks like other packages have found a way to use separate windows:

atom-community/markdown-preview-plus#385
atom-community/markdown-preview-plus#36

Could the same thing be done for hydrogen output and hydrogen inspector panes?

Would be really useful!

The PR @ffinger mentioned for markdown-preview-plus has a diff of 1000 new lines of code. If someone wants to submit a PR that would be great but it looks like a large amount of work.

I would suggest an other, maybe easier approach:

Would it be possible to redirect the output to an other external terminal that is connected to the same kernel? I already asked that question on the hydrogen-launcher site.

Most terminals don't support rich output

[Jogala]

What do you exactly mean by that? The colours? I am using the gnome3 terminal and it looks pretty good. Isn't that a very common one?

[kylebarron]

Like HTML output

Everything is always possible, but is it easy to change Hydrogen Output Area to bottom of screen? :)
There could be option to choose, is it right or bottom?
