Hi there,

How do i create a workspace, in which i can detach the "Design" tab from the "Code" tab and have them on seperate monitors?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

I assume that this question has been answered but I am working on helping others work in Dreamweaver CC 2017. Because I have found that the smallest of information can make a big difference.

Granted it maybe a kludge, but I just stretch the Work-space across all the monitors (two now) and them move live and code split screen windows to each separate monitor.

Hi Norman,

an interesting approach! I would welcome it and regard it as helpful, if you would additional support my proposal to build it as a standard feature said in

Divide the display of Dreamweaver files (instancing) onto two separate screens. – Adobe Dreamweaver CC: Feature Ideas

Thanks in advance

I know this is 2 years ago but I have been wondering the same thing.

Adobe came out with the API for testing on the phones, tablets, and browsers outside of the application. It's to the left of the little globe to test outside of the frame. It will give you a little url to go to and you can just open up a web browser in one monitor and code in the other!!!

Hello,

for some time it is possible for me to work with two screens too. Unfortunately, we only can use splitted vertically or horizontally in one Screen (F10 key), but this doesn’t suit the needs.

It's now four months that I put forward my arguments to a DW-development. I could find further supporters, BUT here are more important issues to install at the moment, the motto is "Please wait".

So this might serve as suggestion to use https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, where you can "Use this form to request new features or suggest modifications to existing features." and increase the number of the supporters.

P.S.

Today, in reaction to your question, I "refreshed" my question.

That is something I've always thought was strange about DW. You're stuck within the application frame for PC users where programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign allow you to throw your work onto any screen regardless of where the application frame is.

It's annoying, but you can't move pages, css or script files onto your other screens unless you first increase the size of the application frame to cover both.

1. Make sure your application frame is not maximized and stuck to one monitor. Hit the Restore button in the upper right if it's there (double square icon)

2. grab the edge of the app frame and drag it into the second monitor

3. Rearrange your tabs and pallets to your liking

4. Get ready to be frustrated by the relative inability to click background program windows efficiently

EDIT: If you just want to separate the code from the design on a single page, go to Window > Code Inspector and you'll have a pallete with the code from the page you are working on in it.
