How to split the window in Author mode ?

[sebastienlavandier]

Hello,

In text mode, I can split (horizontaly or vertically) the view in two parts, by using the menu Windows/split Editor ...

I want to know if it's possible do the same thing in the author mode ?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Regards.
Sébastien

Hi Sébastien,

This is not possible right now, we have an improvement request for it and maybe we'll manage to add this feature in a future version.
I will update this thread when this happens.

Hi there,

Is the feature Window > Split Editor while in Author Mode on the road map? Will this be available in a future release of desktop Oxygen?

Kind regards,

Hi,

We have an internal issue to add a split window editing mode to the Author page and I added your feedback to it. I'm afraid it is not high priority for us but we'll update this forum thread if we implement it in a future version.
As a possible workaround:
Recently we added a new add on named "Translator Helper" to the Oxygen default add-ons repository (main Oxygen menu Help-Install new add-ons).
Once this add-on is installed and Oxygen restarted, in the main menu Window->"Show view" you can show the "Translator Helper" side view. it has a "Refresh" button which can be pressed and it will load in a mini-Author page the content of the current edited XML document, if the current edited XML document is also opened in the Author page. You can use this mini side view to copy-paste content to the main edited XML document.

Radu

Thank you for the reply and the suggestion. It's not quite what we need for this issue, but it may come in handy at other times.

Hi Barb,

Maybe you can give us more details about your usecase and I can add them to the opened issue.
