How to open a file twice using Eclipse?

Question

Using Eclipse I have a large file and I want to see it in different areas at the same time.

So, how can I open it twice (get 2 instances of it in the editor panel)?

Answer 1

Options:

• top menu: Window | New Editor Window | New Editor or
• context menu: right-click on the editor tab
• joker: Ctrl + 3 New Editor, this also shows a command in which you can assign a key binding in the settings, if necessary

A related trick is to pull the editor tab of a new clone to the side or below the original.

Answer 2

 Right-Click (over the opened file tab) -> New Editor
