I have two monitors, and I’m looking for a code editor that supports these features:
Generating preview as typing. Various extensions in VSCode can do this
Allowing the preview panel to be in a separate window from the edit panel. I need this so that I can view it in an entire screen. The NppGraphViz plugin for Notepad++ can do this.
Preferably supporting multiple engines, not just limiting to dot
There is the Resources | Graphviz, but it seems that only web editor can do this?
it only seems to work with Markdown only. For GraphViz only preview tab in the same window of the edit tab can autoupdate. For the preview tab in the other window, even saving the file doesn’t update the preview
Quick hack: expand the window so that it spans across both screens. The downside is that in one screen the portion of VSCode in it will be zoomed out. I don’t know why. Perhaps that’s how Windows handles multi screen correctly. But if you zoom out and put the preview panel in the small screen, it should work fine
