Ability to see document in 2 views

[mklhmnn]

Like many modern text editors I would like to have the ability to see an open PDF file in 2 different views, e.g. to look at a graphic at page 100 and read its description on page 102 (being able to scroll indepdently).

Ctrl+Shift+N to open your document in a second window.

Drag the window so that Windows snaps them to sit side by side. Read and scroll independently.

Thanks. Where can I find this shortcut if the menu bar is active ([ ] Use tabs)?

@mklhmnn Its not exposed on main menu so you could use open in new window see first part of https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/2275#issuecomment-1005687376

Using Ctrl+Shift+N requires me to

• unmaximize both windows
• rearrange both windows to be right beside each other
• find the page Text editors have this requested feature to avoid all these steps.

Unsure why you have to unmaximise half a screen is usually perfect for reading then ctrl shift N opens second copy for drag to the other half

or using new tab dragging move between halves
