Split View

A split view shows documents side by side in one tab. A column can also hold a web page or a file preview.

To open a document in a column beside the current one:

• Right-click a tab and choose Open in Split View.
• In the file tree, right-click and choose Open in… ▸ Split View.
• On a link, open the menu beside Open and choose Open in Split View.
• In Open Quickly, press Mod+K and choose Open in split view.
• Drag a file to the document's left or right edge, or between two columns. See Dragging files.

View ▸ Split View ▸ Split Right (Mod+Alt+\) opens the same document in a second column, so you can look at two parts of it at once. Saving either one saves both.

Command	Shortcut
Split Right	Mod+Alt+\
Focus Left Split	⌘Ctrl← on macOS

Two columns start at half each. With three or more, the row scrolls sideways. Drag the line between columns to resize them.

A split is one tab on the strip, shown as A | B. Drag a column by the bar naming its file to reorder it, or onto the title bar to give it a tab of its own. A split left with one column becomes an ordinary tab.
