Summary: Support moving editor windows to a new monitor.
Classification: Applications
Product: kdevelop
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: UI: general

Target Milestone: ---
This is a feature request to make editor windows detachable such that they can
moved onto a different monitor head.
This new editor window can have it's own tabs as well.
So it would be like having a second main window, but without the toolbar, menu,
etc,...
This could be implemented by dragging tabs outside of the main window, and/or
having a context menu on right-clicking the tab with a 'move to new window'
option, along with a corresponding entry in the Window menu.
I took a look at the code to see how much work this would be, and
unfortunately, due to the way things are set up, with the Sublime Mainwindow
owning a lot of the state and event handling around tabs, it would not be very
trivial.
In order to implement this, we'd need to abstract all of the tab-specific code
into a type of TabContainer Widget or Window base class and add a way of
tracking the currently active/focused tab container/window so we know which one
to address when a new tab is requested for instance. Moreover, all the tab
related event/signal handling functions would also have to be moved, as the
sublime MainWindow currently has stuff like TabDoucleClicked() etc,..
