| <h1>Tiling editors</h1> |
| <p>The Workbench allows you to have multiple files open in multiple editors. Unlike views, editors cannot be dragged |
| outside the Workbench to create new windows. However, you can tile editor sessions within the editor area, in order |
| to view source files side by side.</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>With two or more files open in the editor area, select one of the editor tabs.</li> |
| <li>Holding down the left mouse button, drag that editor over the left, right, top or bottom border of the editor |
| area. Notice that the mouse pointer changes to a "drop cursor" that indicates where the editor session will be |
| moved when you release the mouse button.</li> |
| <li>(Optional) Drag the borders of the editor area or each editor, to resize as desired.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>This is a similar operation to moving and docking views inside the Workbench, except that all editor sessions must |
| be contained within the editor area.</p> |
