I don't mind chipping in to implement this feature. Advise welcomed.

Background:

Currently on Kubuntu (== Ubuntu with a KDE GUI). KDE has "activities" and "virtual desktops" - a bit similar to Windows. Relaunched vscode windows (say, after rebooting machine) do not remember which activity or virtual desktop they were on earlier - all windows launch in the same virtual desktop .

Benefits of this feature:

Makes it more natural for programmers to work on several code projects by saving users the effort of re-locating windows to their previous desktop after shutdowns/reboots.

I don't mind helping to implement this feature:

I'm new to the vscode code-base. Would be nice if vscode maintainers/contributers could advise roughly where to look. My (uninformed) guess is that at least 2 changes will have to be made:

  • Similar to how opened tabs are remembered, opened windows' virtual desktops can be remembered too. Implement recording of this extra information.

  • Launching vscode needs additional logic to re-locate windows to their respective virtual desktops. Check if target desktop exists.

Similar feature request to #35240 but this is for KDE.
