I have a dual monitor and I wish I can pop out the "source pane"(where I edit my code), so that I can edit the code in one monitor and track everything else in another.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you very much for your help.

There are two ways to open a new source window: Pop out an editor: click the Show in New Window button in any source editor tab. Tear off a pane: drag a tab out of the main window and onto the desktop; a new source window will be opened where you dropped the tab.
The source pane is on the left side on top. This is where you will write and edit your R programs and documents. The pane will have a tab for each open file. This pane is only present if there are files opened in the editor.
Just go to “Tools” –> “Global options” –> “Pane layout” and fix it. That's it! Just enjoy your improved RStudio, the program.
