Drag & drop terminal to tabs bar

[titouandk]

It would be nice to be able to drag & drop the terminal to the tabs bar.

It would allow to have a big terminal window.

Yeah you cannot move the panel items into the editor area.

[gjsjohnmurray]

Once you have more than one terminal open in the Panel you can drag a terminal's tab (right-hand side of the terminal area) into the editor area. Or you can use that tab's context menu.

When you only have one terminal you can move it using a command - Terminal: Move Terminal into Editor Area

I thought maybe we could allow the terminal view drag to mimic dragging from the terminal tabs section, but I think that would be confusing since the terminal view would still exist

Thank you all, especially @gjsjohnmurray for your feedback, this is exactly what i wanted to do 👍

Apparently, you can do it even if you have only one terminal, but it isn't very intuitive however (when you don't know the trick yet):

@sbatten maybe could it move all the terminals to the tabs bar (and remove them from the Terminal sidebar) ?

@titouandk you might like to experiment with the "terminal.integrated.defaultLocation": "editor" setting.

[gjsjohnmurray]

Perhaps Move Terminal into Editor Area deserves to be added here:

Doing this would also help when tabs are disabled:

"terminal.integrated.tabs.enabled": false

Thank you @gjsjohnmurray, i did not knew this, the defaultLocation setting is very useful 👍
