### What issue do you have?

Is there any way to view two parts of the same note at the same time?  
Like Split View in ('GASP' 🙂 ) Word?  
NOT the split between Markdown and Rendered, but in order to see what I wrote in one part of a long note whilst writing another part of the same note?

I do have and love the tabs plugin, so I could make a copy of the note and then flick between the original and copy, which would work but is a bit messy.

Any ideas?

Please?

Oh, and Joplin is So Bloody Fabulous!!!!!!!

You could double click on a note and open it in a new window. If you do it twice, you will have the same note opened in multiple windows, which you can then place next to each other.
