Desktop App
IDX Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), either:
- Electron / Tauri wrapper
- Or React Native desktop app
For better avoidance of browser keyboard shortcuts / better native + OS integration
I'm a big supporter of web standards, but running an editor in a browser tab or even as a desktop PWA is often lacking / janky (judging based on the VS Code editor on github.dev)
Alternative Considered: PWA
If you manage to achieve parity by fixing the UX problems and integrating natively, making it work without downsides, I'll be on board with running IDX as a PWA!

Persist Environment Settings Across Sessions
If you customize your panels, themes, fonts, colors, and other settings, we want to ensure your customizations are persisted the next time you access Project IDX.
91 votesAs part of our recently released preview of our Nix extensibility work, we persist all changes in your home directory. We are exploring additional ways of being able to persist changes between VM sessions.

Support Multiple Projects/Folders
You may have separate projects (with their own build process, etc.) that you still want to see and control from inside the same workspace. This type of project structure is one we want to better support.
61 votesWe are actively discussing how to best address this. Stay tuned for some updates here.
In the interim, please comment on what kind of project(s) you are working in what other tools you have found that do a good job here.

Preview Display For Non-Web Applications
To be able to show an application running on the Project IDX VM, for example I use c++ and it would be cool to be able to see the applications that I am compiling and building.

Public HTTP frontend previews
Its very hard to give access to one person at a time to look at a frontend project, so instead of doing all that, why not add a "make app public" option? so that other people can access it and I can easily preview my next js apps with a simple command: 'npm run dev' and then share the localhost link to others to show them previews

Laggy and Less Touch Responsive Online Android Emulator

Monorepo support
Hello, Just discovering IDX, very exciting product!
I just set up a repo that is a monorepo, with /backend with a Nest.js server, and a /frontend with an Angular app.Is it possible to:
- Have both running, port 3000 and 8080, and allow each to communicate with each other?
- Set up monospace.json and specifyworking_directoryfor each project listed?For the moment, should the monospace.json file live in the root of the repo, or nested at the root of each project?

UI/UX design tool
It would be great if there was a design tool similar to Figma so that we could convert our design into code and integrate it with the help of Gemini.

work locally
I wish that Project IDX would be able to work locally as well as in the browser.
So I can take it on a plane and keep working.

A UI for the dev.nix file
I believe that for IDX to go forward, you somehow need to create a UI for the dev.nix file, so that I can assemble the desired components, many people do not know nix or are familiar with it. I could, for example, choose if I want Angular, and which version of it, which version of the node I would use, so that I can build the desired model, but without using nix codes.

Separate idx/dev.nix into a flake.nix and a simpler idx config file.
For experienced nix users, the
channelandpackagesparameters overlap with flakes enough that there's no need to wrap them up in a bespoke DSL. If a project already has a flake.nix that includes a devShell, it's not clear how this should be wired up.For inexperienced nix users, being forced to learn Nix to edit the idx-specific entry seems unnecessary.

Map vim commands correctly
I've been used for a long time the "Vim" extension for vscode, for example.
I started the IDX and the first thing I did was install this extension.
When I try to switch between panels using "ctrl+w+h", for example, the browser window asks me if I want to leave the page.
So, if the Vim extension could map correctly your keymaps without the influence of the current browser maps, it was amazing.

How to access Android emulator?
Hi,
Currently, there is no way to access the Android emulator in IDX. I tried using the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+P, but there is still no option to view the Android emulator preview.
Not only the Android emulator preview, but I am also unable to access the Web preview. When clicking on 'Show Web preview', I get this error message: "Command 'Project IDX: Show Web Preview' resulted in an error: command 'monospace.showWebPreview' not found."
Please help.

Better google drive intergration
In VS cell and other DEV environments i continually run into issues connecting to google drive AI and waste time in authorcatfication loops. So you have the chance to have better or even automatic integration with Google Drive, which would save so much time and make it easier to move data between different projects.

support renaming workspaces
When I started my workspace I had only thought of one use case but then the scope evolved and my original workspace name no longer reflects what my workspace does. I tried "Save workspace as..." but it didn't change the folder name and it didn't permanently change the workspace name the next time I loaded the workspace.
