What is your suggestion?

Update Code to 1.85

Why do you want this feature?

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

@code-asher VS Code 1.85.0 was released yesterday: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_85

I am trying to create a pull request now.

I would like to try the new floating windows option and how it works in the browser.

The same question🤔. Will code-server support the feaute float window like VSCode 1.85?

Yes, it does. In general, code-server supports the same features as Codespaces.
ℹ️ I.e. if it works there, it works with code-server.

@xabru @cleardusk You can also test at https://coder.jupyter.b-data.ch (Image R (base:test-devtools-docker)) where code-server-4.20.0-rc.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz with Code 1.85.0 is deployed.
👉 I have whitelisted your GitHub accounts.

Where can I obtain the code-server-4.20.0-rc.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz file externally for testing on my host? Given the typical two-week delay in releasing new versions, I assume it will be a while before the official release is available, prompting my interest in trying it out externally.

@xabru These are personal and not official builds.

.tar.gz: https://dl.b-data.ch/coder/code-server-4.20.0-rc.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
.deb: https://dl.b-data.ch/coder/code-server_4.20.0-rc.1_amd64.deb

@xabru Please be aware that the first releases are release candidates. This project follows +/- the following procedure:

Take a .1/.2-release as base for a new code-server release.
ℹ️ .0-releases have had some fundamental bugs [in the past].

1. use the .0/.1-releases as base for a release candidate (RC)
2. test, debug and fix; maybe do another RC-release
3. update codebase to the .2-release
4. test, debug and fix
5. release

Quick question: have you ever run into issues with codeserver's floating window and the Dark Reader extension? Even with Dark Reader turned off for the current domain, it's still messing with the floating window and affecting other versions like codespaces or gitpod. Seems tied to the about:blank URL in the floating window. I've been resorting to turning off Dark Reader completely. Any thoughts?

I am a bit swamped but am hoping to review this week, just FYI.
