Visual Studio Code move or dock the 'Outline panel' to the right side of the Editor

How to move/dock the "Outline" Panel to the right of the editor

1. So we can have more "vertical" space in the left for the explorer...<br>
2. and also more "vertical" space in the right for the Outlined items<br>

Looks like this should be a pretty standard thing..
(from the editors/IDE(s) I've used)...

but I've been looking through the Visual Studio Code settings...
and also googling this... but no luck yet!

I'm using version 1.47...
but a quick look to the new ones seem not to have this feature...

?Any ideas

enter image description hereOk... it's possible... and works like a charm...
you just need just 2 "not so evident" steps...

1. Move the "Botton panel" to the right...
2. Move The "Outline panel" to the right panel...
If the "default command line console" is annoying
just double click the title so it closes to the botton

And that's it...
now we have a "Full-Size Explorer Panel" at right...
and a "Full-Size Outline Panel" at the left...

Enjoy!

As of now, this is an experimental feature in Visual Studio Code.

  • Open settings.json
  • Add "workbench.experimental.sidePanel.enabled": true
  • Restart VS Code.
  • Drag "Outline Panel" to the right (leaving other panels on the left) and you are done.
