Thanks a lot for doing that, from the description I think I like the
Eclipse-Version best too. Just a few questions for clarification for those
that don't have eclipse at hand (I'll test this out tomorrow)

So I'd have

foobar.cpp
foobar.cpp

When "split current document vertically"? I this case IMHO a thin border
around the related view or some text which view would be activated would be
good.

Thats focussing a file in a different split view than the current one,
right?

Well, I was actually going to do that too, using Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab to
switch forward/backward in the history. Or did I understand that wrong?
