How to open a file twice using Eclipse ? [duplicate]

Question

Using Eclipse I have a large file and I want to watch it in different scopes at same time .

So how could I open it twice (get its 2 instance in the editor panel ) ?

Answer 1

Options:

• top menu: Window | New Editor or
• context menu: right click on the editor tab
• joker: Ctrl+3 New Editor, this reveals the command too which you can assign a key binding in the preferences, if needed

A related trick then is to pull the editor tab of the new clone on the side or below the original one.

Answer 2

Right-Click (over the opened file tab) -> New Editor
