I searched but could not find a solution to split the editor to allow working with two open files next do each other.
I found the UltraEdit power tip: "Drag-N-Drop Split Pane Editing" But this does not help. In the note is written: "In order to use the vertical/horizontal split window, you need to make the tabs “Undockable”. You can change this configuration setting in Advanced : Configuration : Application Layout : File Tabs : Operation by unchecking the “Dockable” tabs option."
Because I can't move the tabs (they stay fixed, there is nothing to move) I thought I should follow the advice in the note. But …
The note is frustrating: It does not say *where* I can find "Advanced". Does it refer to "Preferences" -> "Editor" -> "Advanced"? However, in my version of UE there are only two things to check: "Load/restore printer settings" and "Grouped undo", but not "Application layout". Is there any other "Advanced" setting in UE? If yes, where? Not very helpful, indeed. A power tip should really help to do things, but it does not.
Thus I searched further for a way to make the tabs "undockable". But because there is a confusing number of versions of UE and because explanations rarely mention to which version the explanation refers, hints like "If you have the Advanced menu and the open file tabs are gone, click on View - Views/Lists - Open File Tabs." does not help because it does not say *where* I find the "Advanced menu".
In my version of UE (version 20.00.0.34 for Linux), I can't find "View/Lists" under "View" (although "View" exists). WHY IS THERE NO SIMPLE MANUAL FOR MY VERSION OF UE? Because the online search for help is extremely frustrating, I hope that there are people out there who can help me.
