How can I duplicate (clone) a tab in IntelliJ Idea?

In Eclipse I just click above the tab and click on "New Editor". In NetBeans is "Clone". In IntelliJ Idea I didn't find this option yet. What I do now is split vertically but it i开发者_运维问答s not what I want.

You can't have multiple tabs for the same file without using split mode (vertical or horizontal). If you want a copy of the file, use Refactor | Copy.

To quickly split the view and make the same file visible in 2 splits hold Ctrl and drag the tab into the editor area.

UPDATE: feature request added, please vote.

1. Split Vertically
2. Drag second tab to another Window/Monitor

You can do this simply by Holding CTRL button and drag the tab to the empty space or another monitor.

Use Shift + F4.

Ctrl + F4 to close it.

You can drag the tab "out" of IntelliJ to create a new window with open tabs. Then reopen the file in main window. See this video

This requires the new IntelliJ IDEA 10.

Yeah, split (vertical or horizontal) is the only option that I have found. You will find the IntelliJ support people really helpful, though, worth asking this question there: http://www.jetbrains.com/support/idea/index.html

Shift-Enter will open the file in a floating window.
