Is it possible to make the RStudio Console a floating pane?

Is there a way to make a floating Console pane? I'd love, for example, to keep the console open on a second monitor instead of having it docked into the RStudio environment.

It is not currently! But please feel free to comment/upvote (it's one of our most popular feature requests).

Currently, it is possible to pop out the source pane using the "Show in new wind…ow" button. This will pop out the current tab into a separate window. It would be really useful if all the panes could be popped out to be displayed in their own, dedicated window. For example, when working on two screens, I'd like to have the console pane on my secondary screen and all my files in the source tab on the primary screen.
