vEdit has several variations of FILE > Open to save you steps when editing multiple files.
Many times you will edit one file after another without needing to switch back and forth between them.
Sometimes you want to see two files side-by-side or one above the other, perhaps to compare them, or for reference.
Once a file has been opened in a window, the window can be moved or resized in the usual manner with the mouse or by selecting “Move” or “Size” from the window’s option menu ( click on the window’s icon, press Alt- - or press Alt-Space and Cursor Right ).
Select WINDOW > Cascade to display all windows at once with overlapping, or WINDOW > Tile to display all windows without overlapping.
Selecting VIEW > Zoom is the same as clicking on the window’s “Maximize” button. It zooms the current window to its maximum size for easier editing. Other windows you switch to will also be zoomed. Select it again, or click on the window’s “Restore” button, to restore the windows to their normal size.
Alternatively, select VIEW > Full size to expand the current window to full-size without zooming all windows. Or select VIEW > Full size - All to expand all windows to full-sized. This is convenient if you want to view most, but not all, windows at full size.
VIEW > Reset restores all windows their normal color and display mode. Each open buffer (file) is displayed in just one window; additional windows are removed. The windows are displayed as cascaded or full-sized, depending upon the setting of CONFIG > Display options > Auto-create window style.
To clean up a cluttered window display, try WINDOW > Cascade or VIEW > Full size - All. If the windows are also in unwanted colors and/or display modes, first select VIEW > Reset.
CONFIG > Display options > Auto-create window style determines if newly created window are initially “full sized” and completely overlapping, or are smaller and cascaded. The default is “cascaded” because this is typical for other windows programs.
