Visual Studio Code - Tabs (editors) of the same project in multiple screens
A solution is to press CTRL+K and after releasing CTRL, press O. This will open the current file in a new window.
There are few things I don't like about this solution: - Drag and Drop does not work - Create a new instance of VS Code resulting in (for me) 180MB of ram used - To open the file it takes to me few seconds (quite slow) - The file remains open in the original window as well

There is a feature request you can track here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10121
And an explanation about why this is difficult to implement here:

Update 20/03/2019:
Another important side effect highlighted by @Mär is that:
the IntelliSense fails to establish references it had when the file was opened in the window, where the entire project is opened
The easy way but with the same drawbacks. More ram and resources will be used. Is to wrap your project in a folder.
It's the best possible thing. As by now!
=> Duplicate the workspace.
Open the command pannel ctrl+shift+p or F1.
Then write dupl
You'll get that
That's it.
More
If you want to add more folder to the working space.
=> go to File then Add Folder To Workspace
You can add as many as you like.
Also better more
You can open a new window (ex: ctrl+n)
And then go File > Add Folder To Workspace.
And start adding folders to your new Workspace. You can add any folder, that is already open or not. That's too way great. You can have all the needed folders for example in the second screen.
Happy coding.
I found the following way to work on multiple monitors (important: they must be the same size and resolution):
- open a visual studio in windowed mode on the 1st monitor (in my case it is a left monitor)
- move the window to the (left) top corner
- stretch window to the 2nd monitor (right) bottom corner
- split screen by clicking “split editor” several times
- move the code sections separator to the edge between the monitors
This is old qestion, but such way can be useful for someone. It is not very convenient, but it works. The solution may have already appeared in the VS itself, but I didn't find it.
