Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be nice if you could drag tabs between instances of Zed. If the edit history could travel to the new instance, that would be a plus. It seems like VS Code doesn't support moving the edit history (it is simply lost), but Sublime Text does.

Hi, is this planned to implement anytime soon? When working on multiple monitors the feature seems really necessary. Or maybe there is another way to work on one project using multiple windows? I tried to open one project in two windows but this is also denied by Zed (to avoid conflicts I assume) - but It would be some kind of workaround.
I am really surprised to see that there's no way to drag an editor tab between windows, or to move an editor tab into a new window. It feels like a pretty major UX shortcoming to me.
This is a much needed feature, especially for people working with more than one monitor per project
Would be great if assistant pane and terminal could be moved to a separate window for multi monitor set up

That would be awesome! But I think that a Zed terminal or assistant panel in another window shouldn't be in another instance, but continue to be linked in the same instance. So a Zed instance should be comprised of potentially multiple windows, instead of the current (and simpler) model of one window per instance.
That's different than moving a tab from one instance to another, because each instance is supposed to be a different project, with its own per-project config, its own set of LSP servers, etc
This also means that there should be a way, in the UI, to show whether two windows are linked in the same instance, or if they are in separate instances. (Maybe just setting up different themes on each instance can work, but that's laborious)
continue to be linked in the same instance
Exactly what I had in mind: not a full-featured Zed window, but a single-panel mini window still connected to the project and draggable to another monitor.
