[Feature]: Enable debugger to pop out of application window into a floating window #24911

Open ramsaptami opened 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

Console logs/application logs etc are an important part of the coding experience that an advanced user would use to analyze and sift through information when writing code/debugging - but the real estate available to comfortably do such activity is limited since they'd either compromise on canvas/editor screen space or the debugger. Giving the option to pop out the panel similar to a browser's capability can greatly improve developer experience and feature usage.

Why should this be worked on?

As users start to build slightly to mildly complex apps, debugging code/widget behaviour/response/error etc becomes tightly coupled with debugging experience and giving developers space to exercise this option helps improve their experience with Appsmith

I have a Dell Lattitude 5280, which has a 11" display, so many times I had to zoom out to 70% - 60% when the debugger is open. So I think, you should definitely add this feature.
