Multi File editing

Hi everyone,

First of all thanks to the developers for CodeBlocks IDE.

Is it possible to edit two files simultaneously ... basically place them next to each other. In other word split the view .. but with two different files?

Thanks

A search in the forums would have revealed the answer, too... Hence I am giving it another time: No.
Split view does only work on the same file.
Hence if I really need another file for comparison I have setup C::B as a "tool" within the tools menu and provide the file I want to see as parameter. This will just open another (temporary) C::B session. Another options would be to use just "another" editor as tool, e.g. SciTE.

I appologize if I have re-asked the "asked so many times" question.

  Do you know if it is planned to incorporate this feature in the IDE? I would strongly suggest that. This is something that so far Eclipse is ahead of C::B with. I have 1680x1050 screen resolution on my 22" Samsung Syncmaster and having one edit window in front of me is totally inefficient.

Besides that, great job!

You should use a smaller screen  :lol:

I agree this should be a great improvement.
You can try code snippets plugin or even ThreadSearch plugin to have 2 views on 2 different files at the same time but they don't provide an integrated C::B editor.

I believe the only good way to do it is through a(ny kind of) layout manager. Thus if wxFlatNotebook would allow to detach tabs we are "done". I am not sure if probably wxAuiNotebook can do this... there was a patch IIRC somewhere in the patch tracker that tried to achieve this behaviour.
