Command:  Windows.Split

Did you know you can split your windows?  This feature has been available in a lot of Microsoft products for some time.  You can simply go to Window -> Split on the Menu Bar or you can use this mouse technique:

 

  1. Go the upper right-hand corner of a document window and look for the splitter control:

  2. Click and hold on it and drag it down to begin the split process:

  3. You can now see different places in your code to, for example, call a method while looking at the definition:

    I use this feature from time to time and like it. But what I never found out: How to switch the input focus between the two windows without using the mouse?

    @Christian -- check out tomorrow's tip :) @Luciano -- Not that I am aware of.  You can split multiple document windows vertically but not a single window. Z

    I would love to use the rumored Window->New Window function, but it is apparently only a dream.  I'm using VS 2010 and there is no "New Window" option under the "Window" menu option.

    Is it just me, or right-clicking on a symbol in any split-view and choosing 'Go to Definiton/Declaration' always uses the bottom split-view to display the result? This is rather annoying.. IMHO it should always use the split in which you performed the search. Also, why can you only split once?
