I would like to split the Notepad++ window so that I can edit two files side by side.

How can I do this in Notepad++?

In Notepad++ 5.7 you can right-click on a tab and select "Move to Other View". You can also select "Clone to Other View" if you want to have the same file open more than once and see different parts of it. You can right-click the divider line and rotate the views to be either side-by-side or top-and-bottom.

I did not know this was possible. So great, thanks! – wok Nov 28 '10 at 22:57
That is cool - I started using Notepad++, but haven't really looked closely at what it can do. – John C Nov 28 '10 at 23:25

Under plugins, there's also a handy COMPARE feature. :D – Rob Sep 21 '11 at 19:37
@Rob I don't know about the recent Notepad++s, but I had to 'manually' install the Compare plugin via Plugin Manager. (I'm an 'old' Notepad++'er.) – muntoo Sep 24 '11 at 4:14
It came preinstalled about 6 months ago, at least. – Rob Sep 27 '11 at 14:06
