Currently if I have multiple windows opened in a single instance of UE, all maximized so only one window is visible, I cannot view more than one opened file at a time, i.e. I want to be able to tile only a couple of the files I have opened leaving the others hidden. For example if I have N windows opened and untiled (i.e. maximized) the tile window function tiles and displays all N windows. If N is large, the view is unusable. I like to keep multiple windows opened and tabbed ... what can I say.
What I would like to be able to happen is for UE to allow me to select a tab for a window other than the current window and drag it to one of the 4 sides of the application. UE would then know to tile the current window with the window tab I'm dragging about. If I dragged it to the left side, UE would tile vertically with my tab window on the left and the the current window on the right. Same if I were to drag the tab to the top of UE. The tab I'm dragging would tile with the current window to produce two windows horizontally tiled. Make sense?
An example application that allows me to do this is the Eclipse IDE. In a editor view with multiple files opened in tabs, I can drag a tab to any side of the editor window and it will tile with the current window. I can also do it multiple times and they all will tile according to this basic algorithm I just described.
Split window would work if after splitting I could load another file in one of the split frames. But I don't think I can.
Let me know what you think, and thanks tons for a great, light weight but feature rich editor. I've used it forever and plan to continue.
Peace.
