IDE: Split-view on the same file

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

I encounter similar situations on a regular basis, too.
Then I've always to edit my source file in an external editor.
Using the PB IDE with all its tools, syntax highlighting etc. would be much better.

So +1 also from me.

Yes, this would be a big timesaver.
I prefer the option of vertical and horizontal splitting.
Not in a view only tool window.
Editing should be enabled in either view.

For this, I use Notepad++, which allows multiple windows and syntax highlighting--for the most part. But switching back and forth is annoying.
