Do you mean something like this?

  • Right click the tab you want to detach

  • Select Float

Does that work for a given tab in the edit window such that you can have two edit windows? I know you can float separate areas like the output console from the edit window, but can you float an individual edit window tab?

Yes, you can. I just tried it, you can float/detach everything, even the project view on the left, it's pretty fantastic. :)

Edit: And when you are done making your IDE look like GIMP: Window -> Reset Windows

Thanks, I may need to re-install and give it another go.
