Hi All,
what do you think of the idea of allowing the IDE to pop out to a separate browser window, and likewise its tabs? My use case is this: I prefer to arrange the windows with the information I need side by side on a large monitor. In this way I can have separate windows with both a full view of my running web app, the editor of the current method I'm writing, and a class browser. I know this would require restructuring of the IDE's architecture, but since Helios is already dealing with a sever-side VM, and we have our own server script, it might be worthwhile. What do you think? -- Siemen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "amber-lang" group.

Helios does this (run require('amber/helpers').popupHelios() in JS console), and old IDE is being left to retire, so probably nothing will be added to it.

Very cool, I didn't know that! How does it communicate with the VM in the host html page? This is a great start. I can see both my whole browser window and Helios. But unfortunately, running popupHelios() twice replaces the contents of the popup, so I cannot create multiple popups and see several tabs of the IDE at once. Is anyone else interested in opening the IDE tabs (SUnit, Workspace, Transcript and Browser) as genuine (target='_blank') browser tabs? This would allow us to arrange, dock and undock them using the native browser & window manager. This would solve my problem of eg using the Workspace and browsing APIs with the class browser at the same time. -- Siemen > > Herby > > Siemen Baader wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> what do you think of the idea of allowing the IDE to pop out to a separate browser window, and likewise its tabs? >> >> My use case is this: >> >> I prefer to arrange the windows with the information I need side by side on a large monitor.
