Should this not say "remote" and not "remote window", to keep the terminology in the rest of the docs e.g. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview?
I realize the text further below specifies this better, but I have not seen the term "remote window" used anywhere else. Just "remote".
(Same comment in the body of the text below, if you find this applicable, and in all other doc changes in this change)

Good point. There are a few instances where we mention remote window and it's also mentioned in the hover text in VS Code. I acknowledge that we don't clearly define the terminology and use it consistently (for example, we also have occurrences of "remote context"). I'll create a follow-up issue to review our docs. Thanks for pointing this out, @thernstig!

Interesting @ntrogh! I had not contemplated that Remote Window part. I wonder if that text should also in reality say just "Remote". The window is always "local" in the way I see it.
You are the the expert in this area though, so I have no better input on if "Remote Window" makes sense in some cases or not.

This is a subtle one. We need to aim for consistency and clarity, so there's no confusion. I'll take it up with the team and definitely also appreciate your input. Keep it coming!
