In my editor, I’m used to being able to see two panes side-by-side within a single frame and in those panes view different files. This can be useful for e.g. manually comparing across two versions of a file. How can I mirror this setup with DrRacket? Right now the best I can see is to open two DrRacket frames, with one file in each. I saw that tabs will let me switch between two files in a single pane, but not see them side by side. I saw that in View > Split I can split a pane in two, but that seems subservient to the tab system, or doesn’t let me then change one of those sub-panes to view a different file.

You are right. DrRacket shows the same file in both panes.

I think it as possible before tabs were introduced, so maybe it is an oversight.

Or maybe we are missing a trick :slightly_smiling_face:

Trick: use vim!

Vim was mentioned as a better alternative. Editor war incoming, thought I’d sit back and watch the fireworks. :wink:

(Obviously /s as I don’t believe anyone here actually cares about editor wars).
