Centered layout should be stored globally not per workspace #71361
Comments
Bascially you want it to be stored globally. I understand both view points, however I will not change this now and am keeping this open as a feature request so we see if more people agree with you. |
I definitely prefer centered layout regardless of the monitor size I am on. If I have centered on both large/small monitor I'm always looking at the middle of my screen so it's consistent. I don't quite understand wanting it stored per workspace since centered layout on small screens seems desirable. That said I would be happy if global was simply something I could opt into. |
Thanks for the feedback. However currently we are not planning to change the centered editor layout. |

Hi dear @vscodebot, I understand why you are doing this. Yes, I consider this a crucial issue. As you saw in my last comment, I found a workaround to save my neck. However, that doesn't mean the situation is good. The centered layout feature is awesome, and with this bug it is mostly useless. In fact, my workaround is not using it. Given the scope of the issue affects users' health, I think it is important. But OK, it's up to you. After 5 months using the workaround I'm used to it and it's already in my routine: change monitor, resize sidebar, keep working, repeat. 🤖 |
The bot was just following my commands, so I am to blame, not the bot. |
Please make this a setting in the user's json file rather than hidden session state. If it's a setting then it can be either global or per-workspace based on the users preference. This solves the concerns I've seen in this thread. |
I tend to switch a lot between workspaces (File: Open Recent). I also tend to switch a lot between monitors: the small laptop screen, and a separate ultrawide one. In the ultrawide monitor it feels much more comfortable to work in centered layout, while in the laptop monitor it's the contrary.
If I toggle the centered layout (View: Toggle Centered Layout) in a workspace, then that setting becomes attached to the workspace, meaning that:
I cannot be all the time thinking about this setting when I switch the workspace, so I end up not using the feature at all, which is a shame because the neck ends up hurting in the ultrawide monitor.
IMHO this situation doesn't make sense. 🙄 The centered layout is a view setting, which one can change depending on the physical environment. It's like the theme: in the day, I use the light theme; in the night I use the dark one; but it doesn't make sense to have a different theme per workspace!
So, what I'm asking for is that the setting persists until I toggle it back again.
Thanks!
