Is it possible to open the same file in two separate windows in XCode. I can open a file in one window and the same file in the main xcode editor window, but I wanted two separate fulltime editor windows.

A:
Yes. Right-click the filename in the main XCode window and pick "Open in Separate Editor". Every time you do that, you get a new complete editor window.

right also, but no side-by-side editing. And you cant open the same file mutliple times.

Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to do this?

I prefer it that way. The computer should do my bidding, not the other way.

A:
Alternatively, you can split an Xcode editor window, so you can view multiple parts of one file in a single editor window. Just click the little split window icon above the up and down scroll bar.

Sorry, I was very explicit in what I wanted. I hate being forced to work within one frame on 30 inches of desktop.
