When working on multiple files in Eclipse, I usually organize the editors in tiles. However, there are times, when I need to close all open editors to open a different set of files. When I open the new batch however, it defaults to stacking all editors in one single tile. I want the layout to be mostly constant, or changeable through shortcut keys. Maybe close to what AwesomeWM, ion3, etc. do.
Thanks.
For those familiar with emacs, you can install the emacs+ plugin, which implements window splitting (C-x 2, C-x 3) and many other related window/buffer operations. Works great for my needs. I don't think the built-in emacs scheme does this.
