Default NinjaScript Editor

From time to time I find myself wanting additional capabilities in the editor.

Now I'm needing a split screen capability, such that I can reference code several screens higher. Say for example the Buy side code is in lines 300-600, and I'm now working on the sell side code which is in lines 700-1000. If I want to reference the buy side code, I need to scroll back 400 lines then scroll forward to return to where I am working on the sell code. A split screen would eliminate this.

So, 2 questions.
1) can split screen be added to the editor?
2) are there other editors I can use (which may be more feature rich)

1. Thank you for your suggestion.

2. You can try using Visual Studio, but you will be on your own for that endeavor. Please see the Help Guide article on debugging with Visual Studio.

Another useful editing aid would be the possibility to flag a code line, together with an button wich allows to jump from flag to flag.

Regards
