Split View

Mike Deneen

Can you do a vertical split view for editing?

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Mike-Deneen

split view is possible, but only for separate files on left and right.
for that, right-click on any tab and select move to other view as seen at the screenshot below:

best regards.

Quibble 1: “only for separate files”: Split view is possible with the same file as well. Clone to other view will open the same file in the other view… and any edits made in one will be reflected in the other

Quibble 2: “on left and right”: by right clicking on the dotted separator bar, you can rotate so it’s “top and bottom” instead of “left and right”

quibble 3: this is less a quibble, but rather a case of “you complete me” ;-)

You had me at “quibble”.
