[SplitView] Add ability to enable synchronized split-view scrolling

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by iskitz Monday Mar 09, 2015 at 02:40 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/10723

Problem

I use vertical split views
My right view file contains notes at the exact lines of what they reference in the left view's file.
As I scroll in each of the two views the other view doesn't scroll, breaking the synchronization between the two files.

Proposal

Enable synchronized split-view scrolling via a menu option or brackets.json preference.

This might be better suited as an extension rather than a core Brackets feature, since it seems relatively uncommon. Do you know of any other editors that provide this functionality?

Sure. I suggested a preference as an alternative for just that reason. Hopefully someone will pick this up and build it or I'll find some time between projects to learn about and build such an extension myself.

Do you know of any other editors that provide this functionality?

No. I haven't checked. I came to Brackets during a search for an editor that had more of what I needed than Sublime and Aptana/Eclipse before.

I believe Notepad++ has such a feature.

This would really be a handy feature for editing css in one view and html in the other.

Thanks@mseiler025. Sent you a pull request for a syntax error in your package.json. Tried your extension after fixing that but it didn't seem to work.

@iskitz thanks for catching that. I didn't get the pull request, I fixed the syntax error and downloaded and installed straight from github and its working for me. It might not be working because you have an older version of Brackets (I'm using 1.5) and the class or id names might be different. Are you getting any error messages in the developer tools console? Are you seeing the toggle option in the context menu?

@iskitz I think I figured out what was wrong and it should be working now.

:tada:@mseiler025; working really well! :+1: Thanks for creating this and being so great about improving it!

If you're still tweaking it, adding an enabled vs. disabled icon or some other visual indicator to the context menu would be a nice touch. It's currently easy to miss whether sync scroll is on or off otherwise.
