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),

I see both commands all the time (I'm using Xcode 2.3).

or hold down Option and click the split button above the scroll bars.

Hope that helps someone out there :-)

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

They make sense to me. Splitting vertically splits into two panes that are vertically aligned.
