#5One of the features I wish Sublime Text had, better tab/layout management with the mouse
Currently it's painful to manage, even with Origami

#6This remains the #1 thing I want for neovim. Neovim works pretty well headless, but multiple clients all have to be the same screen size basically.

#8As an Intellij user, i do not see the need for this. Nor can tell whether it is available in IntelliJ or not. Can anyone detail the common usages for this?

#9The original issue on GitHub ask for that the toolpanes (terminal, Debug console, etc) can be opened in a floating window. What the upcoming vs code feature has implemented is that the code editor for a file can be opened in a new window.
The announced feature doesn't actually address the original issue raised and is much less useful than the features the OP ask for.
Personally it is rare that I need to display two documents in two seperate windows, but to have some of the tools in seperate windows. That I use all in the time in visual studio proper.

Can’t you just open multiple terminal windows? Neovim is a CLI program. It shouldn’t have to deal with windows.
