Hi,
Working in a TM project, I often have this problem:
I want to compare code with another file in the project. I want to see them both at once; possibly to edit one or the other or both.
Then I find I can only look at one of the files at a time - the second file always opens in place of the first one, inside the project. I have to trust my memory about what the first file said. Bad idea, usually. :-)
My current workaround is to create a new document, and copy code from the second file into it, so it can float beside the project. But this is a poor replacement for two active windows; takes several steps, and only one of the files can be edited actively.
I could also close the project, and open both files. Again, a poor workaround.
Is there any other way?
If not, is there anyone else who'd agree this would be a nice feature for 2.0?
Especially this happens with CSS cascade files, where I need to choose how the same parameters are controlled at different levels.

Wow, one I can answer...
Control-click on the file in the project drawer and select Open in New Window.

And to avoid having to dig around in large projects, press Cmd-Ctrl-R first to reveal the current file in the project drawer.
