Vertical split of cshtml window in VS2013
visual-studio
Solution
To enable "New Window" for cshtml you can change "Single Code Window Only" from 1 to 0 in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Languages\Language Services\HTMLX.
It was probably disabled for a reason and changing 12.0_Config is prone to overwrites on next VS update, but you can try how it works.
Problem
In VS2013 I want to view the same `cshtml` file in 2 windows side by side (i.e. vertical split). I know how to do a horizontal split but that's not what I'm after here. The usual approach is to duplicate the tab (`WINDOW, New Window`) for the file and then create a new vertical tab group. However, I cannot find a way to duplicate a `cshtml` tab, since the `New Window` menu item is disabled for that file type. It works fine for `.cs` and even `.js` files. I tried to assign a key combo for `Window.NewWindow`, but it still won't work for `cshtml` files. Any suggestions?
