Visual Studio 2022 seems to fairly consistently decide for me which (what I’ll call ‘debugging support’) windows should be displayed, which windows should disappear, which windows should be pinned by default, etc… For what it’s worth, I’m refering here to windows like the ‘Output’, ‘Immediate’, and ‘Call Stack’ windows…
- Sometimes a window will be displayed (and sporadically automatically be
pinned) without my summoning it. - Some windows default to a pinned status (“Call Stack”, for example).
Others default to an un-pinned status. - My choice to display a window sometimes overrides another widow that
I’m displaying; even though I’d prefer them both be to be displayed. - Other support windows are happy to display without closing/hiding
the previous window. In other words, the newly displayed window defaults to
‘sharing’ the window-displaying area of my screen with the window that was already on display. - Etc…
Bottom line: I understand that Visual Studio may sincerely think this auto-behavior is helpful to a programmer but I’m nevertheless very curious to know:
Is there any way to (in essence) tell Visual Studio that it should be left entirely up to me which windows should be displayed, when they get displayed, and when they should be pinned?
