Hello Xcoders
I use Vim at work, and I find the option to easily create split views on the same file (:sp, etc.) to be very convenient. Sometimes I want to add a missing import at the top, without losing the editing position. Sometimes I just want to see something in another part of the file.
Xcode seems to discourage using the alternate editor for another view onto the same file. The only easy way I've found is to jump to the file in the project navigator, and the hit alt-return. This seems so useful, I would hope there is a keyboard shortcut for "open same file in assistant editor"...is there?
Even when I have the split view I want, it has 'issues': the text jumps around too much in the other view when editing, and auto-completion does not work: the suggestions list pops up momentarily, then disappears before anything can be selected. I think this happens when Xcode thinks it needs to realign the two windows ( which it doesn't)
I am using the Xcode 4.5.1 but this has happened for at least the last five Xcode releases.
Has anyone found the same issue? Does anyone have a workaround?
Best Regards
--Anthony
