Multi-window support?

Post by Halley »

Hi,

I find all the files opened in CL are maximized in the edit region. Can it be resized so that I can view more than one file in the edit region? Can it be splited so that I can view different parts of the same file, like the split functionality of vim?

Thanks!

You cant view the SAME file (split) like in VIM

You CAN right click on a file's tab, and select the 'detach tab' option, the detached tab will now be floating and can be docked elsewhere

Is there a place where we can request adding a feature for multi-window support? In Visual Studio you can very easily view multiple files simultaneously by right-clicking on a tab and selecting split to vertical pane. When using the detach tab option, the new Window always appears behind the gnome toolbar on my system (Ubuntu 9.04) making it impossible to move. It would be nice to be able to view more than one file at the same time while within a single instance of CL.

Thanks for the great work!

I cant really tell, but I suspect that it has to do with your specific system, since on my ubuntu (8.04) it working fine - so u have any visual things enabled? (like compiz etc.)
