An Eddie document window may be split into two or more editing panes. This is usefull when for instance editing one part of a document while looking at another part of it as a reference. Panes can be split both vertically and horizontally.
Each of the panes may be scrolled individually to a different part of the document.
You may switch focus between the different panes using a mouse-click. To split a pane
grab one of the vertical or horizontal
splitting thumbs and drag it to the desired location.
You may also double click a thumb to split a pane into two identical halves.
Once a pane is split, you may use the pane resizing thumb
to adjust it's size. If you double click the resizing thumb, the two panes belonging to
the resizing thumb will be joined back into a single pane. As you drag the resizing pane,
making it smaller, at a certain size the pane will stop getting smaller. If you continue
dragging the resizing thumb, the pane will be removed, joined with the adjacent pane into
a single pane.
In the default Eddie keyboard layout there are no pane splitting shortcuts assigned.
However if you use pane splitting often, you may assign a keyboard shortcut to one
or more of the available keyboard primitives for pane splitting, using the SetKey
command in the UserStartup file. If you are using the emacs keyboard layout, you may
use the C-X 0, C-X 2, C-X 3 shortcuts.
The following keyboard primitives are available:
SplitPaneHorizontal |
SplitPaneVertical |
SwitchToNextPane |
SwitchToPreviousPane |
UnsplitPane |
