The View menu

The View menu allows you to manage settings specific to the active editor, and to manage frames.

Menu Items

View->Split Vertical (Ctrl+Shift+L)

This will split the frame (which may be the main editing area) in two equally sized frames, the new one to the left of the current one. The new frame gets the focus, and will display the same document as the old one.

View->Split Horizontal (Ctrl+Shift+T)

Splits the current frame (which may be the main editing area) in two equally sized frames, the new one at the bottom half. The new frame gets the focus, and displays the same document as the old one.

View->Close Current (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Closes the active frame. This is disabled, if there is only one frame (the main editing area).

No documents get closed by closing a frame – they will still be available in the Documents Menu as well as in the File List.
