Allow having more than 3 code windows open simultaneously

[bryanwinstead]

This limitation seems fairly arbitrary, and when working with "skinnier?" files it'd be nice to have more than 3 open at once. Especially with ultra-wide monitors.

I think you mean editor groups, not code windows.

Anywho, based on the discussion on issue #1749 (and these, specifically, #1749 (comment) and #1749 (comment)) I would assume they were already considering more than three. It looks like they planned on all of the group-related features in steps.

Yep, I know for a fact, you can open way more than just three windows 😉.

But I think I get what you're saying. Do #2686 or #367 cover this scenario, or do you feel like this is something different?

[bryanwinstead]

I'm not sure the technical term for the UI item, but if you click "split editor" you can only make 3 different editor panes. I would like that limit to be larger.

@mousetraps As far as I understand their request I dont think either of those issues cover this one.

They just dont like the static limit of three EditorGroups.

It would be great if you could split the editor three (or more) times for four (or more) groups, especially for larger monitors. Like this.

In addition to #14909 the grouping would be amazing.

Gotcha, thanks for the additional detail! cc @bpasero
