Second bar on the right side #4586

Is there a way in VSCode / code-server to add a bar on the right side, to allign some extensions / views on the other side ?

When having to use a lot of extensions, the left side is some kind of overflown. You have to continuously scroll up and down.

If there is no such way to do so, I think it could be a very helping addition to code-server and improve multitasking a lot, for example when you have to use two extensions at the same time.

I added a screenshot of what that could look like (Theia Blueprint).

TLDR: its already in the recent stable versions. To enable add "workbench.experimental.sidePanel.enabled": true, in settings.json. Then reload (altho for me I don't have to) and then in the menubar View -> Appearance -> Show Side Panel

I don't see a way as of now, I kinda feel this is upstream, @jsjoeio any ideas on this?

Hmm...this seems like something that would need to be implemented in VS Code. Does that type of functionality already exist?

@jsjoeio but is it already possible in v3.12.0 because I can't seem to get it running on code-server. But in my local installation of vscode, it seems to work. Should I just be hyped for v4.0.0 and try it then ?

Maybe this is something I can answer. I think you should be hyped for 4.0.0 since I think it's not on the VS Code base of 3.12.0. But if you want to see if it's true, go ahead. I don't know if VS Code added it before code-server's 3.12.0 release or after.

thanks for the answer :) I can say that with 3.12.0 it is not working. So I will wait and try it as soon as 4.0.0 releases.

Have a nice weekend (forgot that it is friday),

Looking at the upstream issue, I'm guessing this came in a latter VS Code version so it makes sense it's not available in v3.12.0.

Yes, you should be hyped for 4.0.0 - it should be available there! We're going to do a pre-release today so keep your eyes peeled!
