Splitting a Code Window

Post by bosun »

Could we horizontally split the current code-editor window so that we can see two different areas of the same script. An example of splitting can be seen in MS WORD windows.

This would be useful when moving code around the script - a further refinement would be an 'auto-split' action - I imagine highlighting an open bracket { or ( , then having an auto-split so the other half of the screen is centered about the matching closing bracket ) or }

Funny, some one at work was just saying he 'needs' that in order to leave dreamweaver. I told him he should write shorter scripts. ;)

At the present time it is not planned, again, in order to make editor faster and cleaner. More features = slower speed. However if there will be a big demand, I shall reconsider.

One of my feature requests would be:- Dual Editor window.

As you would be aware, Topstyle has one (View/ Split/ Dual Editor), which I find very useful for comparing and varying code.

As this is my first post I would like to say I enjoy using Webuilder, and am very happy with my purchase.

I second the splitting feature...

EditPlus has this splitting feature as well; I absolutely love it! To be honest; it's the one thing I miss most in WeBuilder and it's the reason I haven't bought it yet. For example, you can be coding at the bottom of a script, but declare variables at the top, without having to scroll. (I know, you could use a bookmark for this as well, but a split screen is faster and far more easier to use.) So, if this feature ever gets implemented, please let me know! :D
