I would like to see two different source positions at the same time (the interface and the implementation).

implementing several editor windows for one source is rather simple, even applying different rules for each. Nevertheles because of the way the development of the editor took (which I disliked) it would require a rather large rewrite now.

Hi !

As a vim user, I often use splitted views on multiple files. Using a high resolution display, it would be really nice.

Would it be a good feature ?
How difficult is to implement it ?
Is there a way to open multiple source editors ?

Thanks !

Can someone make a proposal for shortcuts and functions? How should two, three or four synedits be put into one page?

controls are only illusions.
You can do whatever you want.

Martin

Yes

How difficult is to implement it ?

yes

Is there a way to open multiple source editors ?

No,
problem is is that the current implementation is not really observer based, so there is a one to one connection between sourcefile,editor,notebookpage and notebook.

You can open the second file with a different editor, like kwrite or gedit or notepad++.

But I would like to use the Code explorer :)

Oki I understand why it is not a trivial update :)

Zitat von Damien Gerard :

Do you want to _see_ two different source positions at the same time, or is it sufficient to switch quickly between two different source positions?

Actually I would like to see two (three the most of the time) different source files at the same time (like I always do using Terminal) because usefull informations are not often in the same file

Sometimes when working in delphi I need to move/copy some code from some class I wrote before. In some cases I open a second editor window of the same source and put that on a second monitor.
When nestructuring things this is a nice feature. In case of Lazarus sometimes I need this too and open the source in a separate editor. Disadavantage is that the source isn't updated and that it takes more time to find the file (in delphi it's just view-new edit window, and the current source is displayed in a second notebook)

It's actually not that difficult to implement and "upstream" SynEdit has had this for a long time.

Only a proposal, but one solution might be the use of docking windows, plus shortcuts to directly split the editor (horiz/vert split, like vim/emacs do) ?

Hi,

I want to back this. Lazarus' editor is much more advanced than that of my old Delphi times but having 2 windows of the same source-file openend side-by-side is one of the Delphi features I really miss.

I used this a lot not only to check two depending source positions at the same time but for copying code snipplets from one position to the other - if you want to do that several times it is much easier to handle.

Thank you very much in advance for thinking about how difficult it would be to implement such a feature.
