In a program I'm writing I often have to refer to prior code I've written to get variables, etc.   This involves scrolling up/down a lot.  Presently I open a second SciTE window and dump the earlier code I'm working on in it, and go back and forth between the 2 SciTE windows but sometimes I edit the wrong window.  Is there  a way to horizontally split the SciTE window into 2 code views?  Much like other programs allow (like Word, Acrobat, etc.)?

I'm not aware of a way in SciTE to do that. However something that I would personally do if you needed is to open the file with Visual Studio Code (there are some AutoIt extensions for it which enable syntax highlighting and some other features), and either have that open side-by-side, or you can open split windows in VSC itself easily. The main advantage however of having it open in VSC while working on it in SciTE is that it should update the file when you save in SciTE without you needing to reload or re-copy the content.

I'm sure that there's plenty of editors where you can do something similar to what I said above, VSCode is just my personal preference.

We ought not to misbehave, but we should look as though we could.

@mistersquirrleThanks for confirming it.

@ioa747Interesting, however I'm hesitant to muck with SciTE settings.

@mLipokYes but if I'm searching for the variable name then I don't know it and bookmarks does not help until I know it.

I think I'll stick with my 2 instances of SciTE.  Thanks everyone.
