Split views have severely limited functionality #535

Open MFKoelmans opened 9 years ago

MFKoelmans commented 9 years ago

When I use Cmd+2 (or 3, for that matter) to open a split view, Zed opens a new split view with "No file" in as the title. So far so good, but when I try to open an existing file or create a new one with Cmd + n nothing happens. As a workaround, I tried Cmd+., but then I see the title change into a textfield, but the appearing dropdown menu has a height of just a few pixels (normal width). When I type something in the textfield, the text I type appears in the textfield, and the dropdown sometimes (I'm not sure when&why) gets a single item, saying "Press Enter to run the selected command". If the typed command is "File:New" nothing happens upon hitting return, but when I type "File:Rename" I get the normal dialog, just without a textfield (so I can't type a new name). Changing the theme by typing Configuration:Editor Theme:Cobaltworked; somehow some commands work (partially, in case ofFile:Rename) and others don't.

System: Mac OS X 10.6.8, running the node-webkit version.

Needless to say, without the ability to view and edit multiple files simultaneously, Zed is somewhat crippled.
