I want to view different portions of the same C# code file in two separate columns side by side (horizontal split of the editor). I can put the editor in two column mode, but I can't find a way to view the file simultaneously in both columns.
Related solutions that I've found by searching seem to be for previous versions of Visual Studio. They reference menu options like Window -> New Window that aren't present for me in VS 2017.
Is there no way to view different portions of the same file in two columns in Visual Studio 2017?
Developer Community. In Visual Studio Code, there is a Split Editor Right feature in the upper right hand corner of the screen, which essentially takes the active code tab and creates another split view on the right. This is a good feature as I may wish to view different part of code within the same file.
Alt click on a file in the Explorer. Ctrl+\ to split the active editor into two. Open to the Side (Ctrl+Enter) from the Explorer context menu on a file. Click the Split Editor button in the upper right of an editor.
The mac version is just lacking this functionality.
