Hi, there.

1. Does CCStudio support clone function to clone a source file in order to read both concurrently?

I tried to use QuickAccess with "shortcut, hotkey and clone" fed into, but find nothing.

2. If one function is too lengthy to read, is there any feature that CCStudio supports to collapse it?

Thank you!

Hi,

1. You can simply hit Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V on the Project Explorer view to copy/paste a source file.
You can then view them side by side: www.youtube.com/watch

If you are making changes and would like to navigate through them, you can also check: www.youtube.com/watch

2. Check: www.youtube.com/watch

Hope this helps,
Rafael

Hi, I'm not quite understanding first answer.
I meant that, for example, If I have a source file called A.c and I want to read both parts of A.c at the same time.
I want a function to "clone" the A.c(that means I will have two A.c) and then I can read these two files just like first video.

Do you mean that I need to create a blank source file and paste the file to new created source file?

Second video is clear, thanks

Ah, now I understand. Well, you can open the same file twice inside CCS by choosing a different editor - in other words, you can right-click on the source file and select Open With → Generic Text Editor or Open With → Text Editor.

The drawback is that you lose the syntax highlighting.

Hi, I somehow find the shortkey for this feature.

Window -> Editor -> Clone
