          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

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.
