This appears to run within VSCode from the demo videos, as opposed to being standalone. You get everything you get there.

If you use Idea tools you're out of luck I guess.



Their website says it’s a fork of VS Code.


> out of luck

Idea can already do everything Haystack can do (open several editor windows, only open single method, code navigation, callers...). On large screens (quad 32" 4k) it is quite useful.

But a bit more refined experience would be nice.


Do you have a quad 32” 4K screen setup? Do you use them grouped into a 2x2 grid? I’m curious how viable as setup like this is.

I’m currently using a single LG OLED 42” 4K TV as my monitor so I’m interested in large screen setups, but I find the 42” size to already be almost too big so I’m struggling to imagine working on four 32” panels (I guess that would be similar to working on an 8K 65” TV?).


Quickly googled yesterday for Idea´s contexts. I need to dig that further. Any article or resource you may recommend?
