> Subject : Request: New view or split window for edit

> Error Class	: change-request
> Error Location: editor
> Priority	: medium
> Severity	: harmless

> Bug Description ---------------------------

Change Request: The addition of a "new view" for the editor window, or a split view, would be very helpful. KWrite has this feature already. SInce the KDevelop editor is based on KWrite, it should not be onerous to implement this. 

The benefits of this are that it can eliminate repeated scrolling around in large files. Depending on how it is implemented, cut and paste between two files would be easier.


> How to repeat the error -------------------

Change Request: Not an error, but here goes: open up a large file with multiple definitions at the top, with their usage at the bottom. Use all the defines correctly with scrolling up to the top, or having to open a Kwrite or Kedit window.

> Bugfix or Workaround ----------------------

Open up a separate editor for a different view.
