Can I edit two cards side-by-side?

Post by dnszero » Sat Apr 04, 2015 5:01 pm

In the livecode 7 editor, instead of going back and forth between two cards I'm editing, I want to see them both at the same time. How do you this?

Hi dnszero,

1. welcome to the forum! :D

2. You can't!
You can only see/edit ONE card at a time.


Best

hi dnszero - what you can do in the GUI is to quickly move back and forth between cards with the keyboard - on a mac is it command+3 to go to the next card and command+2 to go to the previous one (ctrl+3 and ctrl+2 on windows)

Sometimes I open two versions of LC so I can see both cards by arranging the windows on screen. Other times I take a screen shot and look at that while editing the other card.
