CODECOMPOSER: Duplicated menu item: Split Editor Horizontal / Vertical v.s. Down / Right

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

Hi there,

In Menu > View > Editor Layout, I found two new items "Split Editor Horizontal" and "Split Editor Vertical". I test them and they behave the same as "Split Editor Down" and "Split Editor Right". I think they are duplicated and should be removed.

Robert.

    Hi Robert,

    I agree, I can't see the difference either. I believe the Horizontal/Vertical may have been added by CCS to the Theia IDE. I will need to investigate

    Thanks

    Turns out that they are indeed identical and that we inherited both from the Theia IDE. The reason why the Theia IDE has both is because the Horizontal/Vertical was terminology from Eclipse IDE while the Right/Left is how it works with VS Code (which Theia IDE is based off). Looks like Theia IDE wanted people coming from both environments to feel comfortable.

    I think it should be better to keep the UI consistent. Since we are using Theia platform, it should be ok to remove duplicated items.

    I agree. The duplicate behavior can be confusing.

    We prefer to not make changes to the Theia IDE we inherit unless we have to. My impression is that eventually Theia IDE will remove the Horizontal/Vertical options and focus on VS Code compatibility.

    Let's wait for Theia IDE to fix it.
