Vscode-project-manager: Feature-Request: Open project in new window

[mt-webdev]

Hey everyone,

it just came to my mind that it would be awesome to have a feature like CMD + Click (on project) which will open another instance/window of vscode.

I am jumping between projects multilpe times per second (at least how it feels) and sometimes just wanna jump in'n'out to make a minor change or something. So its a struggle right click vs code -> select new window -> select project -> do stuff.

Thx as always!! Keep building! 💯

Hi @mt-webdev ,

I would like to have it too 😢 , and it was already reported in #76 , but as commented here, it depends on VS Code team to publish an API for that. The request was already made in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/18064, but unfortunately, no ETA. I'm subscribed to that issue, so if/when it is closed, I'll be notified.

In the meantime, you could bind a new Keyboard Shortcut for the List Projects to Open in New Window command, and you would have almost the same feeling.

Hope this helps

If this feature will be possible and implemented in the future please consider to also use the middle mouse button to open a project in a new window.

Hi @dantodev ,

It does not work for me today (at least not commands like Open Recent), but maybe because I define middle-button as OS features . But sure, if the VS Code team releases an API, that's a great idea 👍
