RStudio: can I pop out the source pane?

Question

I have a dual monitor and I wish I can pop out the \"source pane\"(where I edit my code), so that I can edit the code in one monitor and track everything else in another.

This feature was just added to RStudio this week. You can try it in our daily builds (0.99.636 or newer):

To pop out your file to a new window, either:

1. Drag the tab outside the RStudio window to where you want your new code window to appear, or
2. Click the "Show in new window" button on the editor toolbar (it's next to forward/back)

If you try it, let us know what you think on the support forum.
