I subscribed because of this beautiful theme.

You can also just drag the tab to the side until code highlight half of the editor. Sort of like windows window manager. You can then also drag a tab that is in the next group down until a quarter of the editor is highlighted to get one group with two tabs open and one group with one tab open if that makes sense. The last thing might not be so helpful on laptops but on 4k monitors it can be handy if you just need a small reference to something

I thought we never had this feature. I would always click on split thing, this would create a new group. I would close the file in current group. Hence I have two groups. Glad you came with this tip ☺️

Scott, love the idea of weekly tips for VS-Code, especially for things beyond the standard "best extensions of whatever-year-we-are-in", etc. Send it! I'll be watching!

[irlshrek]

Yeah! There are always new things added and there's already so many little hidden things. I bet I'm using like 5% of what's available so bring it on!

[weirddivide]

Ooh nice, this has been bothering me for some time. Thanks for the tip! I would love to see more of these.

[diegoloncopan]

Awesome! I discovered this feature by chance, just pressing the wrong keyword shortcuts for another command. Now I know how to do it intentionally 😄

[Draconicrose]

Thanks, it was driving me a little crazy!

[albertodeagostini]

"Let's be honest, how many times do you really want to do that". Haha, that's literally the main reason I do a vertical split.

Heyy Bro
Which Extension You Use For Your beutiful font colour or we can say theme

@Dev Team did you know you can just drag the tab to the right or down and once you pass a certain threshold it will show you drop area to it?

[BNakato]

I am not sure mac but on windows I have been doing ctrl + alt and arrows (left or right) for years now

[kianow]

Have you figured out how to undock and drag that to a different screen? Kind of like the feature that pycharm and spyder have

[ronny]

Is there a way to move back with the same keybind ?

[Nitroo]

I just naturally drag the file to the right and get a split window. Am I missing something?

[SamiullahKhan]

Have you covered how VS Code auto indents the code. I like to indent with tabs of width 2. But every file I open it defaults to 4 spaces. Now I am using prettier and there is also .prettierrc but for some reason VSCode config takes over when I try to format code. It would be nice if you could cover what's the best to handle it. (p.s. I know there is also editor config thing as well)

What is this "hyper" you speak of? New lingo to define the key combination of all modifier keys? Initially I thought it was the Hyper Terminal app.
