Dual instance with MPLAB 8 ?

[tumbleweed]

My purpose is only to copy and paste some source code from one program to the other

If that's all you want to do then any text editor would work (ie Notepad)

Hi Tumbleweed,

Not exactly. The tabs are not the same as with the MPLAB editor and you spend some time to realign everything.

There are lots of better text editors out there, like notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and it's free.

For that matter, the MPLAB editor can open multiple source files (ie multiple windows) at the same time without having to run multiple copies. That way your editor settings would stay the same without having to setup anything.

Thank you Tumbleweed.
Simple but very interesting solutions.

In France we have a cartoon called "the Shadoks". They always say : "Why to do you want to make it simple when you can make it complicated ?" Am I a Shadok ?
