Description
Discussed in https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/discussions/4284
Originally posted by wurli August 8, 2024
This would be really nice for cases when the traditional split screen doesn't offer enough real-estate, e.g. for viewing large tibbles etc. Personally I like to have my terminal open on another monitor entirely - VSCode/Positron already support this as shown, but unfortunately not yet with the console!
Loving Positron so far, thanks for all the work to create such an awesome free product!

Research direction
Read discussion 4284 first, then review how VSCode and Positron currently support floating windows and how the console is opened today. Done means users can open the session or console in a separate floating window, including for viewing large tibbles or placing the console on another monitor.
