Detached Terminal Window
You can pop the terminal out of the main app and into its own separate window. This gives you more space — for example, a dedicated full-screen terminal on a second monitor — while the rest of LaraEnv keeps running in the main window.
What the detached window is
The detached window is frameless and maximized, showing just the terminal canvas with a slim title bar. Internally it runs as a second process in a --terminal-window mode that receives a seeded copy of the current workspace layout.
What it does and doesn't own
The detached window only handles terminals. It does not own the background services, crons, or dev servers — those stay in the main app and keep running there.
Stopping or closing the detached window does not stop your services, crons, or dev servers. They live in the main app.
Choosing PHP & Node in the detached window
Because the detached window runs the same terminal canvas, each of its local terminals can pin its own PHP and Node version from the runtime badge in the tab bar. The pick travels with the seeded layout, so a terminal keeps the version you chose after it's popped out. See PHP & Node version per terminal.
Re-attaching
You can re-attach panes back into the main window at any time, bringing your terminals back into the embedded Terminal Workspace.
