There is a nice feature found in KDE Kate that I would really love to see in Code::Blocks.
In Kate I can split the code view in any direction (vertical or horizontal) any number of times I want and see on any of those splits any file I want.
I can even see several different parts of the same document and other files at the same time.
It is really very usefull when comparing similar functions or, as I can change the viewed file of any split at any time, understanding what happens inside a function call while inspecting a code piece.
Please take a look at the attached image.
I have one file at left, a second file at right. The upper-right pane shows a piece and the lower-right another piece of the same second file. I can easily show a third file in any of those panes with a single click in files list.
I don't know how it could be implemented in Code::Blocks or if it is a better place to ask for a feature, but I think this feature is so cool that it deserves a request.
Note:
Something not quite different was already discussed in this forum in:

but the concept involved here is very much more flexible and powerfull (yet quite simple) to lead me to a new topic.
Thanks people.
I am not a great expert in CB development, but If I could be of any help, please call me.

Since the last nightly build, you can drag the editor tabs and move them to another place inside the editor-pane.
So you can see different files at the same time, the files itself can be split either vertically or horizontally.
Most likely not identically to kate, but of course worth a try.
Wonderfull!!!
I upgraded to build 5696 and alleluia!
Take a look at the picture!
Those guys are really fast. They solved my problem one day before I ever tell it...

When you have to do this, maybe you should think about refactoring your code.

It is really very good that we always can count with a willing master ready to send us wise and effective advices.
