Is it possible to simultaneously view two parts of the same file RStudio?
This is purely and IDE question. I have been using emacs and ess for my code development, but am interested in trying out RStudio.
One major hesitation is the fact that I have yet to figure out how to get RStudio to display two parts of the same file within a column. 
Is there a way to do this in R studio? I've tried adding a second source column, but I can't find a way to either
a. Split it
b. Have it display a file that's already being displayed.
Is this possible? If so how?
It's not possible at this time.
One solution is to open a second RStudio instance, open the file there, and just hide all the other panes since I'm not using them in that particular instance. Saving changes in the file in either one should update instantly in the other. Note: I'm on Linux and am assuming this behavior is consistent across operating systems
Another solution for Linux users is to create a symlink to the file you want to be able to open in multiple panes. Just name it something easy to filter in any *ignore files you might have. There's the same caveat that you have to save the file to see the changes in the other pane.
