Provide two side-by-side windows in OMEdit

[Francesco Casella]

When comparing two models, or developing a variant of an existing model, it would be very useful to split the window where OMEdit shows the code in two halfs, so it is possible to compare directly the code without toggling back and forth all the time on the tabs.

Why in this world we need to do this when we already have MDI (Multiple Document Interface).

You have probably set the Tools->Options->General->Modeling View Mode to Tabbed View. Change it to SubWindow View and then in the Modeling perspective click on the Restore Down button in the top right corner (not the restore down button of main application).

Good to hear. I was not aware of that, nor was my student who prompted this request :)

That's exactly what we were looking for, but it was not obvious at all where to look at. Also, depending on what activity one is carrying out specifically, one may want to swwiitch between tabbed and sub-window view many times in a working session, so I'm not sure that the Option window is really the right place for that.

Maybe you want to make it possible to toggle using some button, or an option in the view menu, which is something a new user would spot more easily.
