Hydrogen: Feature request: Output in separate pane

[ghost]

It would be great if we could get the output in a separate pane, like in this package for VSCode:

As a starting point, have you tried the add watch feature?

I second this request. I find that having the output intermingled with my code makes working on my code more difficult -- the screen gets cluttered with output and there is lots more scrolling for example. The watch feature doesn't really help because I don't necessarily want to recompute all my values every time I submit something for evaluation.

Thanks

I don't necessarily want to recompute all my values every time I submit something for evaluation.

I agree completely, but wanted to offer this as a temporary solution that is currently available.

I think it would be nice to have a sidebar that can contain watched values as well as static results. Maybe a checkbox to choose if you want the value to be watched (i.e. recomputed)

I understand. I like your suggested solution too! This would address my
only complaint with Hydrogen.

Thanks

Since #794 we're in a good state to be able to support a external output panel.

It would be excellent to collect ideas on how in detail the panel should behave especially in the case of multiple kernels.

I think a docks panel would be the best place for a panel like this.
