Re: [ jEdit-users ] Understanding Views

[henryneu <hen...@pa...>]

Hello!

Thanks for your postings on this thread.

I recently asked the same question in a somewhat different way in a
different forum.

It seems to me that people have two different kinds of requirements:

 (1) Some people want to see multiple files at the same time, each file in a
distinct window.

 (2) Some people want to see different parts of one file in (or through) one
window, or perhaps in different windows, I'm not sure.

I'm a person of the type (1), and it seems Eric is also.  But there seems to
be a lot of emphasis on type (2) in JEdit, and this is leading to confusion.

Let me try to make the question more clear:

  Is there a way to set JEdit so File-->Open _always_ opens a new window?

Thanks,

Henry
