Feature request: Multiple windows (open threads in separate windows) #22045

Closed as not planned

Description

@rutmehta

Problem

T3 Code only gives me one window, and I can't see two threads at the same time. When I'm running agents in parallel, I keep switching back and forth, losing context, and I can't keep a long-running thread in view while I steer or review another one.

Proposed feature

Support multiple independent desktop windows:

  • "New Window" (e.g. Cmd+Shift+N) and "Open thread in new window" from the thread's context menu.
  • Each window has its own selected thread, panels, and browser state, so windows can show different projects (and sit on different virtual desktops or monitors).
  • Window layout and open threads are restored on relaunch.

This complements in-window split view (#20008). Some people want panes and others want separate OS windows, and both solve the same problem of seeing more than one thread at a time.

Context

#2399 asked for the same thing and was closed as completed on 2026-08-15. I couldn't find a linked PR or a release note, and the latest comments there are still asking for it, so I'm opening a fresh issue. If it did ship, please point me to how to use it.

Question for maintainers

Is this on the roadmap? Happy to help with a PR if the direction fits.

    Thanks for the detailed write-up. Multiple-window support is already tracked in the Ideas discussion #6740 (Multiple Window Support), which covers independent per-window thread/project state and using separate monitors or virtual desktops. It hasn't shipped yet; #2399 was closed in favor of that discussion rather than because the feature landed. Closing this as a duplicate. Please add your use case and your offer to help with a PR on #6740 so it all stays in one place. In-window split view is tracked separately in #20008.
