Vscode: Drag markdown preview to New Window

Created on 19 Aug 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode

  • VSCode Version: 1.15.1, 64 bit
  • OS Version: Windows 10 64 bit

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open markdown file, click the preview button
  2. File/New Window
  3. Try and drag just the preview part to the new window

It would be really nice if I could drag the markdown preview to a new window so I can edit the markdown on one monitor and see the preview result on another monitor.

A workaround for me now it's use [Markdown Viewer]. Autoreload is include.

Also anything that uses the vscode.previewHtml command.
Right now the only options are to open on a side-panel or as a new tab that, as pointed out by @lovettchris, cannot be manually dragged to a new window.

This issue is related with #10121 which has many upvotes.

Hi @lovettchris also use two monitors to edit Markdown files with VSCode, as workaround I expand the window across all monitors like this:

This way I can edit my markdown files in one monitor and see rendered changes in the other :sweat_smile:

A workaround for me now it's use [Markdown Viewer]. Autoreload is include.

Another workaround:
use VSCode in the Cloud with code-server and let the browser take care of dragging the tabs around!
