The VS Code maintainers suck donkey balls
I once requested a feature that you can rename files in VS Code because else you need to rename it in a different program and then manually reload the new file in VS Code
Some 10 iq maintainer immediately closed the issue saying that such rocket science is best left to an extension... Yeah because renaming files isn't basic fucking functionality -
@12bitfloat I can select a file and press f2 and rename it
but then all the files I have open I have to go find and save for some reason. cuz it renamed the file in them but doesn't save them I guess
otherwise it works
I don't know
I hate their stupid restrictive window layout. I wanna place stuff where I wanna place stuff. fuck these sidebars with different rules. -
Not to advocate vscode here and I too myself was annoyed with restriction to position panels.
Luckily, I found this link - https://calebporzio.com/6-annoying-...
Repositioning panels is just dragging and dropping them to their place of your liking. I come from Eclipse world, so I preferred Search and Copilot panels in the bottom panels. -

Don't get me wrong. I love VS Code. It's the GitHub Copilot plugin that I hate. I've already tried dragging it and no, it can't be dragged the way you can drag the seach panel or any other panel in VS Code. It just doesn't work and GitHub don't bother to fix it.

At home, I use Cursor, which is way better than GitHub Copilot, but at work I can't choose. One thing I particularly hate about GitHub Copilot is the way the chat panel appears in the left sidebar of VS Code, on top of the file explorer. That, and their useless, arrogant, and ignorant support (or whatever it should be called) .
I filed a ticket about this issue already in July. Their support claimed that one can already move the chat window to the right. But it doesn't work the way they suggested. In August, they asked me to provide a screen recording. So I went through the hassle of making a screen recording just to prove that dragging the chat window does ineed *not* work. I did my part so I was expecting them to do theirs. What do you think happened next? Nothing! Then, more nothing! And then, they just inadvertedly closed the ticket without a resolution or explanation.
Github, that's a pretty shitty way to treat your customers!
