Re: Split-pane editing

It’s definitely possible to view two portions of a file side by side,
using View
> Split
<https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/Menus.html#%28part._menu~3aview%29>.
See the screenshot below. But it doesn’t seem to be possible to view two
different files side by side. Nonetheless, it should be straightforward to
create a DrRacket extension to do that.
