Vscode: Possibility to open terminal in separate window

Created on 9 Mar 2017  路  2Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode

This need for me is because I'm using code-d (D language extension for VS code) which writes run output to the console terminal - I need more space for viewing it and simultaneously writing code.

+1. I would also like to have it in a detached window because the VS Code terminal is the perfect replacement to conhost.exe since it it natively presents extended character set font support as shown below when running fish (note that it properly displays git status with an "x" instead of "[]").

Edit: bash.exe terminal should read conhost.exe terminal.

Edit 2: and also, the VS Code bash terminal colours are WAY more easier on the eye. VS Code people obviously put a lot of thought into the default terminal colours as shown here. http://www.growingwiththeweb.com/2017/03/mastering-vscodes-terminal.html#terminal-colors

Closing in favor of https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/34442, I think there's also an issue somewhere for pulling panels out into different windows which is also what this is asking for.
