I have a dual monitor setup, and I can open an extra window to have two eclipse windows, where the second has a gray pane where the editor is in the first window. Then I would like to eb able to drag a window pane (like when you split a single editor window) to the _other_ window to move the editor pane there, and now have two editor windows.
Nick, Not sure if we need to involve SWT in this one. Can you clarify?
See also bug 13585 for general view/editor detaching issues. For now, you can do the following: - in window 1, select the file in the Navigator or Package Explorer view (if Link with Editor is on, then the selection automatically tracks the active editor) - drag the file to the editor area of window 2 In general, dragging a file to the editor area opens it.
Could be interesting, but this may be dangerous for some implementations. A database client supporting multiple connections may want to display each in a separate workbench window, so if you move an editor/view from one window to another : - It may not be relevant at all (e.g. a dynamically generated editor displaying a particular record) - Users may want not to move, but to duplicate the editor/view, by holding the CTRL key (I don't know if is possible/planned) - The editor/view should be asked if it accepts to be dropped in another window, e.g. something like boolean IWorkbenchPart.acceptsDrop( IWorkbenchPage other, boolean bForDup ) - If accepted, the View/Part needs either to be notified of the window change or reconstructed from scratch, based on the editor input (or view configuration) Hope this helps -- Steve

Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area.
This has been possible since e4 was introduced IIRC. What's the procedure to close such an old bug? Mark it as WORKSFORME or setting a Target Milestone and resolving?
Works at least since Eclipse 4.2.
