Split view¶
Edit several documents side by side in independent tab groups within one window — to compare two files, or keep a reference open while you edit.
Splitting¶
View menu:
| Command | Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Split Right | Ctrl+\ |
Moves the active tab into a new pane to the right. |
| Split Document | Ctrl+Shift+\ |
Shows the same document in a second pane — edits in one appear in the other. |
Groups can be split further; panes share the window and are resized by dragging the divider between them.
Working across groups¶
- Move to Pane — from a tab's context menu, move it to another group.
- Merge Group — fold a group's tabs back into another group.
- Drag a tab from one group's tab bar onto another to move it across.
Saved layout¶
The arrangement of groups — which document is in which pane, and the panes' relative widths — is part of your session, so it is restored next launch (see the Session plugin).
