Open your file and then Window -> New Editor

I see that in Kepler this feature hasn't a shortcut binding anymore. You can make this yourself by going to Preferences -> General -> keys and search for "new editor". Then click Binding and press the shortcut you want.

This appears to be now out of date and no longer correct; see "achieve this indirectly" somewhere else on this page. – Gerry Sep 09 '21 at 18:25

You can achieve this indirectly, like first opening both the files then click on your file header in your editor and just drag towards the right. Eclipse will automatically creates two seperate views like you have shown.

I am aware of that but it only moves window as well it takes too many efforts to adjust it vertical, as you see in image in both side I have open same file I want to do that in kepler. Now seems like kepler has remove that option.. :( – commit Sep 25 '13 at 13:07
This is the correct answer (as of Sept. 2021). Don't waste your time on the others. – Gerry Sep 09 '21 at 18:24

Window / New Editor opens a second editor. It does not seem to have a default key binding.

When the second editor is open drag the tab to open the windows side by side.

What command is Ctrl + 8 bound to in your workspace ? I've looked at 3.8.2 but can't find it (even though I do vaguely remember doing something like this).
