Feature Request: dual pane view
-
Once you've perfected Editorial as is, consider supporting two independent panes in the interface -- two views of the same file, or two different files. Maybe not so good for coding, but for text editing (which is what I do) it would be great. I imagine it could be done in Python, but not by me. Somebody else?

This cannot be accomplished with Python as the app is currently.

Although not a split screen I wanted something similar and wrote a workflow that shows a second file in a window with an option to insert part of the text into the existing text being edited. You also might find it helpful.

Basically, you would have to convert the markdown to html, and then view the html in a window view.
You can make the text in the view editable by using a "contenteditable" tag. I am thinking python can be used to convert the file back to markdown and save it in the current file.
Sounds very possible though.
