Split editor area

Hi,
Being able to split horizontally the edit area is something I find myself missing on the PB IDE from time to time.
If the Scintila lib makes this functionality easy to implement I think it would make a good addition to the IDE.
Being able to see and edit at two different places of the same file at once comes very handy when refactoring, as one can avoid having to scroll up and down all the time.
Note: As a sustitute I use markers, but most of the time it is not good enough.

Having the option of splitting the editing area in two would be nice indeed, both horizontally and vertically.

Great idea.
I am scrolling like crazy up and down my code. And it's only some 1000 lines...

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think Scintilla supports this kind of thing.

Why keep scrolling? Typically you're checking code in another section, ie. its a one way activity. Why not simply load the code into an external viewer?
I'm using two screens, and when I need something I launch CodeCaddy and keep it, showing the appropriate part of the code, on the second screen.
Works like a dream
In fact, I've been trying to use multiple views, and found it rather confusing in most applications, except perhaps for Excel.

Scintilla has a few features for a sci-window with the same content
Code: Select all
Procedure sci_cb(Gadget, *scinotify.SCNotification)
EndProcedure
Procedure Main()
If OpenWindow(0, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 640, 480, "")
InitScintilla()
ScintillaGadget(0,0,0,0,0,@sci_cb())
ScintillaGadget(1,0,0,0,0,@sci_cb())
SplitterGadget(2, 0, 0, 640, 480, 0, 1)
dp = ScintillaSendMessage(0,#SCI_GETDOCPOINTER)
ScintillaSendMessage(1,#SCI_SETDOCPOINTER, 0, dp)
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
EndProcedure:Main()

Wow, that is cool.
I did say that I wasn't 100% sure!
I've not encountered that before. Thanks hallodri.
Right, in that case,...... + 1.

Yeah, this would be a really handy feature. I just needed it today (well, more like every coding day
)!

I support the request and want to update it to the present.
