[Suggestion]Split view between table and raw data

[kdschlosser]

This can be done already in kind of a off way. If i select the raw data view and then split it I will get 2 views of the same data. I can then click on table in one of them and get the desired outcome. There is one issue with this. when I make changes in the table view or the raw data view the new information does not get populated into the other view.

@kdschlosser Thanks for the suggestion.

The reason for that is mostly performance: Switching between text and table is currently always performing a full conversion between parsed text and table-datastructure. Live update requires a different approach how data is shared between text- and table-editor. Even though this suggestion sounds simple, it's quite some re-work.

Oh I have no doubt. you do not want to keep on having the files saved and then reloaded. this would cause a bunch of undesirable effects not to mention it would be resource intensive on a large data set.

The markdown plugin I believe does what I outlined above and it is a real annoyance actually because it keep on jumping the preview page to the top every time you make a change. If you decide to add this at some point those kinds of side effects would be undesirable. So I do not even know if you could do a live update because of how the IDE works. I would have thought that a plugin like the markdown plugin would have been made in a manner that does not jump back to the top after almost all changes. This could be a limitation of the IDE. might be worth checking into to see if it is even possible to do it.
