I put a new RC7 on RC5 - everything is fine, it works quickly, it does not slow down modern and the tips do not disappear. But, there is no way to open several windows in the ide. Split and desk modes are lost, these simple opportunities are very convenient. Will they be included in the following versions or are they completely removed?
Thanks for the clarification. I guessed this "split editor" capability was what you were wishing for, but I don't like to operate on assumptions.
You are correct that this feature was intentionally disabled. The reason is because it was not working correctly, as reported here:
Yes, advanced users know how to work around that issue, but we had multiple reports of people accidentally splitting the editor (since the default keyboard shortcut is similar to the one for commenting code) and then not being able to recover the IDE.
We prefer to have a feature working correctly before adding it to the Arduino IDE. This one was actually added inadvertently as a matter of course through an update of the Eclipse Theia IDE framework the Arduino IDE 2.x is built on, which provides this functionality. So it did not go through proper quality control before release.
The Arduino IDE developers are tracking the request to add back a fully functional split editor capability here:
If you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to that issue to get notifications of any new developments related to this subject.
Four versions from RC5 have already passed, and the problem with the windows has not been solved, I hope the developers have not forgotten about this problem.
