[Feature Request] ideas for improving plot rendering and Python Interactive tab per se

vscode: 1.30.2 python extension: 2018.21.1

1. Under the current version, if a user opens a new window with Ctrl+K O and then Run Cell in the new window. A new Python Interactive (kernel) tab will be opened aside in the window. Separate the code editor and the python interactive tab into two windows. This will enable the users to use different aspect ratios of the two windows and make the usage of the screen more efficient. For example, if one has a two-screen setup, put the code editor in the horizontal screen and python interactive window in the vertical one. Btw, I saw some discussion here and wonder if this is too hard to achieve now.

2. Fix the colorization issue to increase readability of the outputs.

3. Large plots will be automatically fitted on your screen and fully toggle it when you double click it, like Jupyter lab.

1. ability to adjust the Markdown text font size

The python extension should be forcing a background on the output. And we should be fixing up matplotlib so that it uses colors based on the theme.

Right now the only issue should be the code doesn’t colorize correctly. I suppose a workaround for us would be to allow you to set a background color for the code.

@rchiodo It is amazing how many works you guys have done to make everything mentioned in this issue happen. The only remaining issue is this horizontal width and seems like you’ve got it here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/5734
