Hi guys-
I'm a daily user of RapidPHP Editor, it's great...
I went thru the registration just to say... I really want to +1 this feature idea... Split view is really critical when you're rapidly coding... Especially in our world of 22"+ screens, it's a great selling point.
... In fact, it would be amazing if you could make that a shortcut, so if I need to "split" to see some code 2 pages down, I could hit a shortcut key...
... Then another shortcut key to navigate between split views...
... And finally a shortcut to close to most recent inactive split. (Hammering the key would let you close all split views except the active one.. No repercussion for hitting it multiple times.)
Just a note: There are "forward" and "back" buttons in PHP 2011. It's not the same, but it might help. This so critical to getting code done fast that it's the only reason I'm upgrading... Tho the CodeIgniter support is good too.
IMHO- Anything that maximizes the use of big screens is going to create a buy decision.. Most PHP devs are designers too, and often have large displays.. sometimes 2 of them.
