Is there a text editor with columns instead of scrolling?
editor, text-editor
Solution
In vim: `<Esc>:vsplit` will open a second column for the file.
In all fairness, I should warn you that Vim has a steep learning curve, and will force you to wrap your head around new concepts like command mode / edit mode / visual mode. The results are definitely worth it, if you have the time to learn it.
Problem
Is there a text editor which offers horizontal, rather than vertical, scrolling (showing two pages side by side)? I currently use TextMate, but would switch to any editor which offers this layout. I'm getting really bored of scrolling up and down, over and over. I've attached a screenshot of MS Word, which has a side-by-side horizontal scroll view for documents longer than a page. I want something like that, Any recommendations?
