Problem

One of the good points with Emacs is that you can have split the screen so you get two or more views of the same file which allows you to browse around and have a clearer overview of the file. Are there are some plugins or is the same functionality already is built into Notepad++?

Fix for: Can I get split screen in Notepad++ like Emacs?

Low Risk

It is built into Notepad++. All you have to do is right-click the tab of the file and say "Clone to Other View" and it will split the workspace into two scrollable views of the file, similar to how Emacs does multiple windows. You can also open up two different files in the different views.
