All popular IDEs (and most apps) seem stuck in a single-monitor paradigm. When are we going to get an IDE that sets the bar for working with multiple monitors? For inspiration, look at multi-monitor audio engineering consoles. Please
@jetbrains
@errata Uhhh, I regularly use @jetbrains IntelliJ with multiple monitors, so I’m not sure what else you’d expect from a multi-monitor paradigm…
Can you help me picturing it?
Sure. It's "possible" but it's clunky and even buggy.
Can't make a second window composed of multiple sections without starting with an editor window. Most popups always display on main window. No way to control in which window things open in, or to move things without dragdrop. No option to bring all windows to front on focus any, have to reveal each individually. No well-designed default multi-monitor layout. Zero options related to multi-monitor/multi-window workflow.
@steffo @jetbrains i.e. just a bunch of things which make it clear that multi-monitor is a second-class workflow that hasn't been given much attention. It just needs some love and care put into it.
