Godot Version

v4.6.1

Question

I dont understand why godot wont allow me to say move the “Search Help” window over to one of my other monitors. It seems like a simple thing but would significantly improve quality of life.

Right now my work around is making several screen shots and moving those around, but this is not efficient. Plus, I often want to view multiple scripts at once and have the ability to edit them on different screens.

Please include this feature on your next update! Thank you for your time in reading this!

First of all this isn’t really the place to post feature proposals, Godot has a Github repository for that: GitHub - godotengine/godot-proposals: Godot Improvement Proposals (GIPs) · GitHub

This seems more like a bug than a missing feature as on Fedora/Gnome I can move Godot windows between monitors without problems: (recording the primary monitor)


Could you share a video of the problem, as well as what OS you are on?

As far as I know this actually isn’t possible with the native script editor, you would need to use an external editor like JetBrains Rider

This is easily fixed by using an external editor (vscode or whatever works for you) I use both the Godot script editor and an external editor even with one screen. In the external editor I can have three script files side by side.

Works for me on Windows 11.

I’ve had a single instance of Godot spread across four monitors before.

Try:

Or check out Rider (which supports GDScript) or VSCode. They’re easy to setup so when you click on a script in the Godot editor they open in the IDE.
