Describe the feature

I'm torn if this is a bug vs an RFE, but I definitely find this an important functionality. Working with multiple monitors, I find being very productive utilizing multiple editor windows. I know that Zed well supports split-windows within the same monitors, but I don't prefer that method as my screens are a little on the small side so that I can support have 4 external monitors.

The expected behavior would be that I can drag an open tab to another monitor and it would spawn a new editor window with the tab.

This is probably the best feature that i remember from sublime text. VSCode and Zed cant do it and it drives me crazy. I would love this in Zed

@mpiannucci Just a heads up, VSCode can do this now. It didn't used to so it might just be you haven't tried it since they added it. See this comment for a gif of how it works.

VSCode supports Move to new Window and Copy to New Window cmd+k o when right clicking on tabs too.

late to the party, but anything has been done about this? it is really frustrating (and unlike VScode Zed won't allow me to open the same projects in 2 windows, so i can't do that too)

I am a bit surprised this is not a feature, apparently I used this quite often in a multi-monitor setup with VSCode

+1, great feature from Sublime Text for basic workflow

Anyone have any idea what's the ETA on this, it's a blocker to quite a few workflows imo

Absolutely! Zed seems amazing, but not being able to work on more than one monitor for now is a complete deal breaker for me! I look forward to the project growing though, it really looks super cool!

I'm a bit surprised this isn't supported, sad 😔

Hey, I'd like to work on this if it's okay with the team. Happy to discuss the approach before diving in.
