#### Split window panes

An Eddie document window may be split into two or more editing panes. This is usefull when for instance editing one part of a document while looking at another part of it as a reference. Panes can be split both vertically and horizontally.

##### Splitting panes

Each of the panes may be scrolled individually to a different part of the document. You may switch focus between the different panes using a mouse-click. To split a pane grab one of the vertical or horizontal splitting thumbs and drag it to the desired location. You may also double click a thumb to split a pane into two identical halves.

##### Resizing split panes, joining split panes

Once a pane is split, you may use the pane resizing thumb to adjust it's size. If you double click the resizing thumb, the two panes belonging to the resizing thumb will be joined back into a single pane. As you drag the resizing pane, making it smaller, at a certain size the pane will stop getting smaller. If you continue dragging the resizing thumb, the pane will be removed, joined with the adjacent pane into a single pane.

##### Pane splitting keyboard shortcuts

In the default Eddie keyboard layout there are no pane splitting shortcuts assigned. However if you use pane splitting often, you may assign a keyboard shortcut to one or more of the available keyboard primitives for pane splitting, using the SetKey command in the UserStartup file. If you are using the emacs keyboard layout, you may use the C-X 0, C-X 2, C-X 3 shortcuts.
The following keyboard primitives are available:

SplitPaneHorizontal
SplitPaneVertical
SwitchToNextPane
SwitchToPreviousPane
UnsplitPane
