Sublime text split screen full#

Other powerful editors like BBEdit, Textmate, Visual Studio, Eclipse, all do it, but even the little freebie editors implement this feature before their editing power goes beyond Notepad with line numbers. Komodo Edit is powerful, free, and you just right click a tab and tell it where you want it. It’s just not worth doing, especially given how many other editors let you easily edit code on the left side and see your output on the right, including most free ones I’ve used.

Sublime text split screen full#

I would have to go through this for every new file I opened, and it would eliminate full screen, distraction-free mode, and who knows what else. You then build and get your output and repeat. This causes a reload of the code behind the console. (If you build on the left, it will save, but it will pop up another console, covering your code, and you won’t get any output on the right anyway.) After remembering to save first on the left, you click on the right to change focus. Even if you have the “save all windows on build” option set to true, it won’t save your edits on the left if you build on the right. You have to manually save the left window. You then edit code on the left side, but you have to remember to synchronize the invisible code behind the console on the right or you’ll get the wrong output. The console will display your commands (“Running python - u /…/…/hello.py”) but won’t display your output.) (If you don’t have the right window viewing the file back behind the console, it won’t work. You drag the console in the right window up to cover the window. You then set the one on the left to “Hide Console” and the one on the right to “Show Console”. You have to open two windows side by side and have them view the same file. I got your idea to work (thanks), but it’s such a kluge that it’s not worth doing.
