How do i show tabs in seperate windows/panes?

NielsPeterFrandsen

I have a processing program with multiple tabs - instead of switching between the tabs I would like to see the contents of two tabs at once i separate windows/panes. Is that possible?

As far as I know, no, not in the current IDE.

.pde files are stored as regular text, however. If you have a text editor that lets you open many files in different tabs, you can use it to do this.

Hm - what would it take to program Processing thread-wise to handle multiple windows and access the same handle to the pde files?

This might actually be a question for the github developers repo as a feature request.

Or wait --

1. are you asking how to program multiple windows in a running sketch, or
2. are you asking about a potential feature in the programming IDE editor which the allows multiple window / tab views of onto the code?

Thanks - IT's a feature request in the programming IDE - I'll move on to to github
