Keep vscode running in backend

It would be nice if when I closer a code-server browser workspace in a tab and go to that same workspace with its url in another tab or even another browser on another device and see activities continue like compiling even when the browser is closed and reopened again. Cloud9 does this and I liked that a lot

This would be nice. I think this may have to be done upstream though.

You can use screen or byobu, install it on the hos you run vscode server. When switching devices open your code server on the new device and type byobu you will see your current sessions and they do not close when you close the browser either. Ideal for long running terraform/ansible scripts, I keep an eye on them on ipad/iphone while doing other stuff.

thats great but gui initiated operations will still close on a browser close
