Anyone know of a way to have a split screen view in Notepad++ where I can be editing my HTML / CSS in one pane/tab and be seeing the Live Preview of what it would look like in a browser in another tab/pane.
Ideally, this would be:
however, I could live with any variation of the two above, e.g. simply integrated with RubyMine using external windows/browsers, or maybe, the preview only available with limited rendering engines (only Chrome let's say).

Notepad++ is a text editor, not a WYSIWYG HTML editor. Aside from View Current File In that Alan suggested, there are also “preview” plugins available.
When you make a change and save the HTML file, you can hit refresh on that preview window. Alternately, you can just use Notepad++'s built-in View > View Current File in … submenu, and choose to load your HTML file in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or (shudder) IE.
The plugin Preview HTML is the closest match to what your are looking for.
Go to the Plugins menu and then find the Preview HTML entry to install it. Its description is: Preview HTML files inside Notepad++ (or in a floating window) without having to save them first. The latest update now refreshes the preview automatically after switching tabs, or whenever the document is changed.
