Split Screen
For looking at different sections of a scene at same time. Useful when you want to move paragraphs around or check scene's development without having to scroll and search whole page.

ClaireAlso useful for looking at a plot diagram in one scene and writing out either the actual scene or summaries (for planners).

TashaAlso useful for when you forget a characters name of physical attributes - leave scene, scroll down to notes, find that character, scroll up to scene, find where you were, try to remember what you just looked up (its' a process)

RachelWhat I want is mostly to be able to see more of my scene cards while writing (can currently only see 2.5 on the right sidebar, but I have a lot of columns in the plot grid, and seeing cards while writing is maybe the main thing I look for in writing software). Split screen could work for this, especially if there was also the ability to decrease card size so users can see more columns at once in the plot grid

Emma MareeUpvoting this because I always find myself wishing for this when editing comes around!

ZaynahI found this feature to be the most useful during revisions and rewrites of chapters in Scrivner!

SophiePlease allow not just for looking at 2 SCENES simultaneously but also looking at NOTES, CHARACTER PROFILES, PLOTS simultaneously with SCENES and CHAPTERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ChrsitopherI open Dabble in two browsers side-by-side to look at different sections.
But a two page view would be nice (as the multi-page view is in MS Word). -

PhilVertical split screen for checking text in different chapters side by side. This is far easier for comparing verbiage than is a horizontal split screen. Until Dabble has a vertical split screen for comparing and moving text among chapters and scenes, I cannot leave Scrivener.

Raz0r7685Would LOVE to see Dabble's take on Scrivener's split-screen mode that lets you have multiple items up (not JUST sidebars, full windows) like for the scene/Plot Grid to be full windows side by side, or maybe two scenes side by side (where you foreshadow in 1 and reference the item/act/event later in another scene)—even your research binder at the bottom. This is soooo necessary, I use a widescreen monitor for this very reason and this is a killer necessary feature.

Elinor GrayI would find this helpful too, as I move back and forth from one scene to another, moving pieces by copying and pasting. For now I just have an app window and a browser window open.

CassI'd love to split screen between two different projects, as well as different chapters/scenes/plot notes within the same project, please!

MarthaI would LOVE to be able to have a split screen option like in Scrivener. Often I need to look at my notes while doing the plot grid or a scene card while writing. At this point, this is the main thing I miss from Scrivener.

J. S. ElliotSeconding the vertical split and being able to look at the plotting cards at the same time as the manuscript.

ZaynahYes yes yes! This was my favorite and most used feature when revising in Scrivner. If Dabble can incorporate this, it would be perfect. Right now I have to have two Dabble tabs open and put them on two monitors or side-by-side (which is hard when I'm on just the laptop and not at my desk with the big monitors).

Kevin MergedI would love to be able to have a blank page next to my current page in focus mode so that I can rewrite portions of text without having to go back and forth between tabs or new scenes to filter what I want to keep versus what I want to edit.
It could be like rewrite mode instead of focus mode, and the blank page could even be a new scene so it could save properly, but I would just really like it if it were on the right side of my current pages. Like an expanded version of a comment, I guess. I'm not very talented when it comes to remembering what I wrote after I've already replaced the text, and I need a side-by-side to help me keep the same flow or pacing. -

KevinWould this be like a side-by-side of the full page itself, or sections of the scene split across the screen? I didn't notice this earlier but I feel like it would work with what I was hoping to ask for in regards to rewriting large chunks at a time so I can see new text next to old and make sure I'm following the same pacing while making edits.
It would also be beneficial to see a character sheet up while I'm writing in a scene so I can describe a character without having to go back and forth between tabs to make sure I don't write something contradictory.
Thanks for this idea! -
