Vscode-code-runner: view output in a tooltip within the editor window

Created on 30 May 2017  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: formulahendry/vscode-code-runner

This is a great plugin.

It will be super if there is an option to view the output in a tooltip shown within the editor window. This video by Venkat Subramaniam shows the same done in textMate.

This will give us more screen space for the editor view which will be sweet.

The idea for this feature request is from TextMate editor for Mac.
In TextMate it's possible to define specific tasks, with specific output, per language.

Hi @bhavinkamani , sorry, the video is too long, I could not get what you want. Could please provide more details?

Sorry about that... Here's the screenshot that shows how the output is displayed in tooltip. I believe, the tooltip disappears as one starts editing the code. This helps the developer to retain the full screen layout of the main editor window.

Hope it explains..
