- Any plans for splitting page?
Oooh. Another feature that would be handy. I got used to split-window in Emacs (and jEdit too) and now I'm a bit spoiled. :)
I really don't like it. Yesterday, Tim Tassonis mentioned "We don't want another emacs, do we?" ;-).
Well, I'm not completely against the split-window feature but I don't see a reasonably way to implement it beside the current way of tab positioning(read: the notebook tabs).
I've thought about this before, but not investigated it in detail. I think the feature would be very useful, and there may be a way of implementing it so it doesn't complicate the interface too much.
Scintilla has support for multiple views of a document, so perhaps there could be an optional pane next to the notebook window, with something like a right click menu to select which document to view in the extra pane.
But this is still just an idea, I'm not certain about it, and for me there are other things that take priority.
One way to make it much easier to live without split window (on the same document or to deal with 2 different docs) would be if there were a bookmark mechanism coupled with a simple way to toggle back and forth between the two bookmarks. That is, I'd want to be able to set 2 bookmarks, then bounce on, say, Ctrl-M ('M' for "mark" I suppose, since Ctrl-B is taken) to zip back and forth between them.
Incidentally, if I click in the left margin of an editing window, I get a little green plus sign. There's no tooltip for it. What's it for?
