Ok in that case what you are really missing is a split window view,  
which was for a while and perhaps still is the number one request.

A slight workaround is to open the file as part of a project, then  
right click on the file in the drawer and select "Open in New Window".
Not quite a split view, but would help a fair bit I think.
