Tip: Splitting editor windows "horizontally"

This post was going to be a question, but since I found the answer (and I consider it to be a non-obvious feature), I thought I'd pass it on as a tip...

XCode editor windows can be split, allowing two files to be viewed and edited, one above the other. This is done by selecting View >> Split <filename> Vertically, or by clicking the icon above the vertical scroll bars.

However I prefer to view files side by side, especially when editing on a wide-screen display. To do this, hold down Option (or Alt), then go to View >> Split <filename> Horizontally (the original menu item is replaced), or hold down Option and click the split button above the scroll bars.

Hope that helps someone out there :-)

Andy

PS. Does anyone else find the designations "split horizontally" and "split vertically" confusing? To me, the terms seem to be reversed!
