IDE: Having two or more views of code

[technicorn]

Very nice to have, splitting the editor window, so you can have views of different parts of the same code, or different codes at once.

Thanks

Ps. Stopping asking for features for the IDE....

I've always wished I could see another part of my code at times.

Why?

Quick reference. For example, I often need to refer to my ListIconGadget
definition code to remember which columns hold which data. So I could
leave part of the view showing that code while working in another section.
I know this probably isn't easily done to the IDE, though, so I don't mind
if it never surfaces.

I think it would help a lot, if I could open another IDE instance (while the preferences are set to tabbed mode).

I'll join the club here: I'd like to have this too

It requires a larger change to the IDE though, which is why i have been pushing this one ahead of me so far.
I cannot give you a definite time for when it can be done, as it is not a very high priority.

codecaddy may help (not exactly what you want, but possibly worth to look at) until the ide can handle this natively.

Yeah, well, guess why I wrote it?

They why was intended in a slightly different matter, perhaps I should have said: what do you want to watch?

More details about calling parameters etc. belonging to a procedure you are refering to in your code or include? (Which is what CodeCaddy is aiming to do.) Or do you want to have two pieces of code next to eachother and edit both? (Which CodeCaddy obviously cannot do.)
