Breakaway Editor #31

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice to have a split screen or break-away to allow one file open as 
reference while editing another.  Something I think would be interesting is the 
ability to take a tab and 'pop out' a read-only version of the file that can be 
positioned outside the main editor.  I often keep an instance of gedit running 
that I can copy/paste a file from the main editor to and move to an adjacent 
monitor for reference.  It's really handy to have the functionality of split 
screen without halving the number of lines shown for each file.  Split screen 
is probably the better generic option, but for multiple-monitor users like me a 
separate window would be really handy.  Even a smaller modal/stays on top would 
be useful on a single monitor.

This could be done as a plugin.
