idea: split view

[edmundlaugasson]

There is an idea to split view vertically and/or horizontally in order to use screen more efficiently. Like e.g. some filemanagers in Linux do (Konqueror in KDE, Nemo in Cinnamon, PCManFM in LXDE etc). Also some text editors, e.g. Kate. Currently is impossible to see multiple tabs simultaneously.

There would be two options:

• open same file in multiple views in order to see large file different parts simultaneously e.g. with different zoom factor
• open different files in multiple views with different zooming factor

Both of features I propose to be supported. Also dragging by holding down the mouse wheel would be appreciated and it seems already working.

I could see that being useful yes. Would be a bit of rework, because I'm sure there's a fair bit of code that assumes there's only 1 currently active document, and 1 view to it.
