This is exacerbated by this issue where you cannot intelligently set sidebar sizes, so as a user you often have a small sidebar set when entering the copilot chat, opening the session in a new window would be a good flow if it worked.
Same problem, I want to use it in a new window, but it can't read any files and code
Context should not just be based on the 'active' editor
the original question still doesn't work but an at workspace question does work
This is about selection context in the text editor that you have in the main window behind the chat window. So open the chat window, but have a text editor active in the main window, and test that it can see your selection/viewport in that editor.
Ah something is wrong here
This is due to ITabsAndEditorsService
being instantiated lazily, and so it doesn't get to set up its listener early
Ok I've got one change but also https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/211405
Steps to Reproduce:
I expected that if I had a floating window, I could use it like the sidebar, but it seems to behave as if it's a tab in my editor instead, and does not expect me to be viewing other files while interacting with the copilot window.
Please look into this, as using a tiny sidebar is very annoying when viewing complete functions with 100 character width, it's just not big enough and a seperate window is way better as a user experience.
