    emacs can split it's screen horizontally, vertically, both, ... . However, as I recall, there is a significant learning curve.

    You could try ultra edit or 7edit. I do believe they both have that functionality.

From my personal experience I can recommend to use Kate (sudo apt-get install kate) - it has many options in View → Split View:



Kate - Split View




Also you can try JEdit (sudo apt-get install jedit), it allows to have splits in View → Splitting:



Jedit - Splitting



or Notepadqq (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:notepadqq-team/notepadqq, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install notepadqq), it has View → Move/Clone Current Document → Move to Other View option:



Notepadqq - Move to Other View



or JuffEd (sudo apt-get install juffed-plugins), it has Move to the right panel and Move to the left panel:



JuffEd

Another option is Geany, available in the repositories.



Under Tools, click on Plugin Manager and enable Split Windows. The plugin for enabling split windows comes pre-installed.



Plugin Manager



You'll see the Split Window option under Tools.



choosing split windows



And that's it. Of course, you can choose between horizontal and vertical and drag the splitter to resize panes.



Geany in split window mode



Geany, in 18.04, is a gtk3 application and in 16.04, a gtk2 application. So, if your distro is "GNOME-based", you may prefer it as it pulls in very few dependencies.

  • Thank you, I tried geany and liked it but I settled for bluefish as it was a lot more customization. It does have split screen but not sure if that worked however it suited me in different ways. Thank you for your suggestion!

    Image of vim text editor with two files open



    Can be done in vim. They are called windows (:help windows)



    Open new file vertically with :vsplit /path/to/file :vs for short. Use only :vs to open the current buffer in another window (so you can look at the same file in another place)



    Open horizontally with :split /path/to/file :sp for short. Using only :sp will open the same file but horizontally



    Ctrl-w will cycle through the open windows. :bn will change to the next buffer in a window. (:bp will go to the previous buffer)



    To close the active window :close



    To dig deeper :help close, :help split, or :help any-command will open the help file in a new window and you can read more about them (:close will close the open window ;) )



    How to close vim from the command line? (For the uninitiated.)



    Note: The "Tab list" on the top is from the airline plugin with the code below added to my .vimrc



    let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1 " Enable the list of buffers

                  Image of vim text editor with two files open



                  Can be done in vim. They are called windows (:help windows)



                  Open new file vertically with :vsplit /path/to/file :vs for short. Use only :vs to open the current buffer in another window (so you can look at the same file in another place)



                  Open horizontally with :split /path/to/file :sp for short. Using only :sp will open the same file but horizontally



                  Ctrl-w will cycle through the open windows. :bn will change to the next buffer in a window. (:bp will go to the previous buffer)



                  To close the active window :close



                  To dig deeper :help close, :help split, or :help any-command will open the help file in a new window and you can read more about them (:close will close the open window ;) )



                  How to close vim from the command line? (For the uninitiated.)



                  Note: The "Tab list" on the top is from the airline plugin with the code below added to my .vimrc



                  let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1 " Enable the list of buffers

                      Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                      Image
                      up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
