[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4152) Vertical rather than Horizontal Split in Visual/Source Editor

Vertical rather than Horizontal Split in Visual/Source Editor ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-4152 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4152 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Visual Page Editor core Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA Environment: Fedora 10, JBDS 2.0, JDK 1.5 x86_64 Reporter: Drew Arrigoni Assignee: Denis Maliarevich Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.1.0.M1 Attachments: Preference page.png, Split.png, VPE.png It would be nice, especially for people with widescreen monitors, to be able to split the visual/source editor vertically, rather than horizontally. This would allow them to view the source, within a single tab, side by side. This is doable across multiple tabs but I don't know if there is any performance hit while doing it this way. It also means that you cannot move to another file with the window full screened without having to resize your tabs. This would be annoying for editing, say, an Entity file and a Form for that Entity at the same time. Also, as part of this option, it would be nice to be able to define which side of the split the Source and Visual editors are on.
