How to set window size and position in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Is it possible to set the VS Code window size and position, either via settings.json, though an extension, or by some other mechanism?

In Atom, I can do this in my init.coffee file as such:

atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace',
    'custom:prepare-for-screencast': ->
        atom.setSize(1280, 720)
        atom.setPosition(37, 50)

Then I can call Prepare for screencast from the Command palette.

Not...yet?

The closest I can find is window.newWindowDimensions, which only takes a few strings that refer to predefined geometries, although 'inherit' could serve you well in the meantime if you prime the pump by closing al your existing sessions, opening one window, sizing it to your liking, then quitting. Then all your new windows should be that size, and Visual Studio Code seems to be very well behaved with respect to resizing, just never close a resized window last, or it becomes your new default!

As for position, there appears to be nothing at all.

Answer 2

in vscode, go to

settins=>windw=>new window => new window dimension

there you are able to choose the following option to set the default dimensions, if vscode is getting opened:

inherit || offset || maximized || fullscreen

I prefer to use "inherit", i.e. open vs-code always as large as the previous one.
